dunno whether there are still people who visit SLS now. =P

One month more to June!

My school's VP reminded us that how hard we work during the June hols will determine at least half of our A level grade.

We are all very tired of JC life. =

But the next few months will determine our future career.

Jiayou SLS =)

hello =D

2009-01-30T23:54:00.002+08:00

hello sls

week 2 of school has just ended...

i've had a splitting headache this week...

we must be assiduous students who do their tutorials religiously.

but in the midst of all the freneticism,

don't lose hope.

don't lose faith.

and most importantly,

take good care of your health!

da jia yao jiayou =D

Happy New Year!

2009-01-05T16:39:00.002+08:00

Ju took the first step to revive SLS,
and I'm taking the second.

According to what I know, nobody in SLS has a boyfriend yet! Yay!

And congratulations to edha who did spectacularly well in her A levels in Australia. You go girl!!!=D I'm kinda sad that you didn't manage to finish the application forms for Harvard, but nevertheless, we are all proud of what you have achieved, and hope that you receive lots and lots of offers from all the good universities in australia on the 20th of January! =D

Meanwhile, my fellow SLSians, keep a distance from the guys in school, and start flirting with your lecture notes and tutorials! This ensures that you will enjoy a blissful marriage with the A levels. Just paste your crush's picture on the notes or something, just MUG YOUR BRAINS OFF! And later, plug them securely back into your cranium before your A's begin.

heehee
but amidst all the furious cramming of info into your brain, don't burn out and crash. Remember- Take a break!=D
happy new year everyone!

but each from every other has something good to gain

YO SLSIANS!

2007-05-04T12:46:00.000+08:00

HAHA. MYE are going to be over in a blink of an eye! How cool is that!

Although this mid year most of us had very short time to study, or were just simply lazy like me, but I hope all of your will view the results as a trigger point to START STUDYING HHAARRDD. (ok. I'm refering to myself I guess.)

"shi bai nai cheng gong zhi mu" = failure is the mother of success. Don't be discouraged by the results but keep on going because the end of the 4 yr long secondary race is going to be over soon. :D

Take care and enjoy this short break.

Hey brocolli!! It's great that you'll be back soon. I bet all of us missed you. Tell us when you're coming back... EXACT DATE pls. so i can ask sabrina n diyana out during may or june and you can give them a pleasant suprise. oh n faiza too n bahiah. hahha. Maybe we'll just have another party. I love parties. HAhaha.

Hey there everyone part 2

2007-01-04T11:00:00.001+08:00

OK something went wrong there and i published the blog even before i could finish typing what i wanted to. so now i shall write what i ACTUALLY wanted to write.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL THE PPL IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!

OK back to the topic. now as u all know that O levels have started and u all are senior students of tkgs along with O level students and u must finally be feeling really grown up. i would sincerely from the bottom of my heart like to wish all of you all the very best in this year and i really hope that u will excel both academically and socially (Hint hint). i still have until the 29th of jan till my school starts and i am trying to enjoy my remaining days as a free bird after which i will have to succumb to the pressures of being a jc 1 student in aus and will have to devote majority of my time to studying and other educational activities and as i do not deem wasting time on the internet of any educational value, i regret to say i will not be indulging in alot of mailing and blogging or anyother recreational activites. SO, lets all study together even though we are millions and millions of miles apart. or maybe just thousands.

and finally i would like to add one more thing that refers only to sls and that is iloveuverymuch.
and so this is edha signing off and i miss u all to bits.

"and this is the part that i hate the most. they announce the winner and its not you."

cheers
u know who.

Hey there everyone!

2007-01-04T11:00:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Ushering into 2007 with a Bang...

Hiya folks! Long time no see! How's everyone doing? First thing's first, I would like to wish Samantha Lim Si Xian a wonderful HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY!

Alright, in this brand new year, though we are all busy in our own various commitments, do not forget to keep in touch, ok? It certainly is going to be a very tough year, thus, we need to pull through it like what we used to do in Secondary one and two, the SLS we used to be!

Well, SYF's going to take place as well isn't it? Our school's Atonomous status will be reviewed this year by people from the Ministry as well, hope that everything goes well.

In 2 days time, we will be meeting in school again, and we will knowing our form teachers and subject teachers, perhaps new CCA teachers as well. Everything will be very much more different from what it was like when we were in Secondary one.

That should be all for now! Have a wonderful year ahead!

Cheers,

GCL

NEW YEAR!

so cool right? that's rena inoue and john baldwin. my fave pair skaters. :) they're doing this lift...if i'm not wrong its called the tabletop lift. such a funny name but oh well. rena was from japan previously but now she's a US citizen. she battled cancer and still emerged as one of the best pair skaters. that's what makes her my idol.

hahahaha i think i'm into my second childhood. lol. teen titans rawks! my fave couple is the guy with the black hair, robin and starfire, the girl with red hair on his right. :) hee hee.

Picture Post! =D

2006-11-01T15:06:00.000+08:00

I'm really bored... So I thought that I'll just share some pics from my handphone and computer with the faithful readers of SLS. (the faithful readers are, of course, the members of SLS, nonetheless)
-_- ridiculously long post ahead!

I'm obviously bad at playing minesweeper.
But I seem to possess an uncanny ability to create art with it.

But hey, I'm good at spider solitaire, what. =D

spongebob pinkpants from TY plushies website. Pink happens to be my favourite colour but this is... erm.

I purposely wanted to make you go mad seeing pink. But pink dragonfruits are surprisingly sweet.

That's what happens when you add water to dry ice! =D
(pic taken when we were celebrating sabrina's birthday)

Look at the third line from the top. $50 sandwiches from TKGS western stall! What audacity!!! We are but penniless students. =(

The moon in the evening. Nice huh. Though the moon looks more like a speck of metallic yellow paint in this pic.

The lego toilet bowl me and julia painstakingly built. (sadly, in the end, we didn't get to use it. sigh.)

A1 currypuffs forever!!! Only $1! (but got some other flavours $1.50) BUT I THINK EVERYONE WHO IS A SINGAPOREAN SHOULD GO BUY!!! OMG!!! They're at the basement of tampines mall, opposite the NTUC supermart. Hurry go buy!!!

My pink hippo. =D

3E7 worked so hard to get the exemplary class award, but later sadly realised that all they got was a measly keychain. -.- Hee. But better than nothing lah hor?

Hengy at the porridge stall... It was after he had his last emaths lesson with 3/7. I saw him in the canteen, so I decided to ignore the existence of prefects and mdm khoo... I whipped out my phone to take a pic of him. Whahahahahaaa~ Mrs Chan told us that he's now teaching at St Patrick's Secondary. My last-time ah gwa neighbour is there. Anyone wanna visit them? =D

this is one of the sketches that I have done, and that I am proudest of.(that's why I made this particular pic so big, LOL) And I'm giving it to my tuition teacher Ms Ruby Teo!!! =D I've actually painted it really nicely, and I am damn proud of the card now man. HAHA. I feel so pro. Oh no. Self praise! Anyway, I'm giving it to her this saturday. And no one, (except my parents) is going to see this card until saturday!!! Hee.

Picture taken at hougang WP rally, 2006. Super duper uber crowded!!! Unlike... HEHE.

This guy at the WP rally was actually CLINGING on to the LAMP POST while listening to low thia kiang make his speech!!! Wad the hell! (btw low thia kiang's speech was damn hell the hilarious.)

My idols...
their pics are on the poster at the bottom.

The lights in my room.

That's the longest my nails ever grew. Any prefect wanna book me? Har? Har?

Negative value on julia's ezlink card. Amazing.

FREASH & old bruises?

Ms Ong on the same bus as me?!?!?

Pookey the hamster climbing into his virtual world.

Pookey the hamster about to commit suicide.(he lived, astonishingly.)

The Photosynthetic MultiLayered Fruit Cake... Done by Nina and me for the Bio project this year. It's supposed to represent the different layers in a leaf.

Nowadays SBS bus seats also got yellow colour one. =O

The wilted rose Mr Yong kept in his car. He got it for teacher's day... which was only one day before jael took this picture. Anyone cares to explain the process of wilting? Hahaha.

This is how my pencilcase looked like when I just bought it. ^_^ Of course it doesn't look as good as this.

Tokidoki = japanese-style cuteness

I saw this decorative thingy in G2000 (womens' section) at tampines mall. It's supposed to... sort of... complement the huge faux black and white bamboo shoots at the entrance of the store. But when I first saw these, I was wondering why they placed rolls of toilet paper on the shelves. =P

You all may not know this, but the letters on the keys of my keyboard have pretty much faded off THOUGH MY DAD SPENT LIKE 3K ON THIS LAPTOPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>=(
I feel so cheated.
But my daddy printed stickers for me to stick onto the keyboard... because
1) we couldn't find replacement keys/stickers
2) I don't want to use an external keyboard
So, I'm going to show you how my keyboard looks like now. =P

Hai...

WEI! Who ask you go so near and see one??!! GRRR.

The final picture and caption is dedicated to all the staff of TKGS, and the MOE.

Post #188 - Living the Life of y=sin x

2006-10-06T15:35:00.000+08:00

Very nice number hor? =)

I've decided to slack off today after the bio and geog exams...
I shall be nice and type a post for you all.
Some more hor, today got alot of weird things happen to me. =O

here goes:

Yesterday night, I had to cram whatever Biological information I needed to cram into my head.
Today morning, I was cheong-ing whatever Biological information I could cheong into my grey matter. (an arduous process that has to be done repeatedly before an exam if you have no confidence in the subject)

Then came the usual boring routine. MariKitaRakyatSingapuraSamaSamaMenuju, We the citizens of Singapore, announcements, Mrs Lim blah-ing about TKGS girls being ridiculously slower than TKSS dudes for coming to assembly, Mrs Lim commenting that the repetitive music that is played in the morning is CHEERFUL.

Yes, cheerful.

I get bored.

y=sin x reaches an all-time low of -1.

Does that sound nostalgic, edha?

After all the hum-drum boredom, I decided to be an opportunist, and make use of the 5 minutes of travelling time to our classroom... to study, yes. What else?

As I was walking towards the foyer, bio notes in hand, I heard a more than familiar voice beckoning a fellow homosapien.

"Chun Ling!!! eh. Chun Ling!!" (repeats this for a few times)

Being kaypoh, I decided to turn back.
A (MORE THAN) familiar skinny male teacher wearing a turquoise shirt and black pants smiled at me.

"Chun Ling, you read books and walk must careful ah! Dun walk walk read read then fall down ok."

I gazed at him, dumbfounded. (and no, it’s not because he’s handsome)

"er I am not chunling… and no I don’t think I will fall down haha”

*walks over to see my nametag*
"orhhh xinyi ah! good luck for your exam ah!"

"ehh ok thanks mr yap =)"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MR YAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was your student for like 2 years and you still call me chunling!

>=(

I am damn insulted by his RAM. hmph. =P
Ya lah. But nonetheless, thanks mr yap!=) ________________________________________________________

On the way home on bus 10 today, I encountered a

TERRIBLE

traffic jam, man. None of the cars in front were moving, and the worst part was that no one knew why. So, I got stuck in the top deck of bus 10 for approximately 20 minutes withouht the bus moving. So agonizing right.

If any of you took bus 10 before, you'd know that bus 10 generally drives straight foward. But today, after the bus driver (thankfully) brought the bus out of the jam, a traffic police guy standing on the road, directing the traffic, told the bus driver to turn right.

The bus was going off course!

But, gahmen is gahmen, police is police, xinyi is xinyi (not chunling), so the bus driver just turned right reluctantly.

then came the jeers and whatever you may call them from the passengers. Some idiots were actually SCOLDING the bus driver. Can you believe it.. It's not even the poor guy's fault! Yea so alot of people missed their stop,and had to get off at this bus stop that only had bus 16 stopping there.

There was this maid sitting at the bus stop. She was like "???" and I tell you her face was DAMN funny and I was laughing to myself.

But later, the bus thankfully went back to the bus 10 route.

Kudos and kudoses and more kudoseses to the bus driver!

When I went down the staircase in the bus to get to the bottom floor, I realised that the bottom floor was actually TOTALLY EMPTY. Like girl. Like, can you believe it. Like. Ok I shall stop like-ing.

As I looked out of the windows of the bus, I saw to my utter horror that the bus stop which I was alighting at was CRAMMED with people. In terms of mol/dm3.

Er no. I mean, the people looked like they were spilling out of the bus stop. Crikey. And this hoard of people were going to cheong into bus 10, but the bus driver actually told them to go away. (?) Huh.

Afraid of getting stamped on by the hundred+people at the bus stop, I cheonged out of bus 10 and went home to have my fried rice and ice cream mooncake. =)

There you have it, all in a day's work.

Good luck to all of you and of course to myself for whatever remaining exams we have! Mug hard. No. Mug HARDER! Mug so hard that your brain would measure a magnificent 10 on the Moh's scale of hardness. =) Heh.

(dreaming of the slacking days: friday qing gong yan and next next tuesday. Hope mdm seah let me be extra and go singapore biennale with art club ppl)

xinyi =D

What a great Time!

2006-09-11T16:26:00.000+08:00

Yeeehaaa... what a lot of interesting happenings at NJRC 2006. The competition saw more than 100 schools from the whole nation coming together, showcasing what they had prepared for the past 2 months. The missions this year were very challenging, thus leaving many schools stumped. the challange announcement was 2 weeks late. The score board had a long list of schools with zero and I mean Kosong points. Haha, our school also had trouble getting a point. There's good news though, we clinched the 3rd prze for "Best Research". Hmmm.... thinking of a suitable place to Qing Zhu Yi Fan! Here are the following places where we can get good food at resonable prices.

Soup Restaurant
Fish and Co.
Ding Tai Fung
Jack's Place
Chen Fu Ji
Seoul Garden
Phin's Grill Bar
Pasta Mania
Sketches
Congress(Buffet)
Swensen's
Crystal Jade
Coaca (Steamboat)
Pizza Hut

After so many suggestions, I think that it should be sufficient to satisfy your taste buds. Besides that, what else should we do on the outing. Perhaps we can do the following:

Have a game of badminton or tennis(before meal of course, do not want to end up in the hospital)
Go for a movie
Shopping( I don't really like)
Take neo prints

Yep, regarding news of photoshop. Heard that he is leaving our school for SACS next July. For now, examinations are around the corner, so remember that studying is one thing, another is to remain calm and compose. All the best for the examintions! We should have a SLS gathering, perhaps at Sam's place if possible.

Robotics video has to be done as well. Alright, am off to send Jael the pictures that she have been longing for. That's all for now. Ah Ju, relax ok, remember lychee, longan and rambutan and you will be fine.

See ya soon!

On Science

2006-08-10T17:02:00.000+08:00

I am a huge fan of science.

But I have never gone to such mad and extreme, extents to carry out scientific experiments.

But, this person has!

Please take a look at this site and give me your comments.

Utterly cruel! Urgh!

Answer to the science question!

2006-08-09T17:17:00.000+08:00

Ok! After a search on yahoo, I've found the answer. It's not a very exciting answer, to be honest.

Here goes.

When the dry ice(frozen carbon dioxide) comes in contact with a metal surface,

the metal surface was at a higher temperature than the dry ice.

Therefore, this will cause a very rapid sublimation on the dry ice.

Since dry ice=CO2, alot of CO2 will be produced. Especially at the part where the dry ice is in direct contact with the metal surface.

As a result, the dry ice will be pushed off the metal surface, due to the huge amount of gas below it that's rising rapidly.

As soon as the gas below the floating dry ice rises and diffuses off into the atmosphere,

The piece of dry ice drops, of course. And produces a sound.

And this will cause it to touch the metal surface again, producing alot more CO2, etc etc, and the cycle continues again!

But of course, this process happens extremely quickly and repeats itself over and over again, producing the vibration and the rattling sound, until all the dry ice has been sublimated.

As to dry ice on plastic... I haven't found any answers on the internet yet.

Hmm. Plastic is a bad conductor of heat, right? okie wait ah lemme think...

so. Maybe the heat from the plastic doesn't go to the dry ice as fast as metal? (coz it's a bad conductor of heat, metal is a good conductor of heat.) Just think of yourself holding 2 identical spoons getting heated at the same end. One is made of metal, the other is made of plastic. Obviously, the hand holding the metal spoon will feel the heat much faster. ^_^

Not enough heat-->dry ice sublimes almost normally-->Not enough CO2 gas produced to push it off the spoon-->No rattling sound.--->No fun.

National Day Blazare

2006-08-08T22:00:00.000+08:00

Hey folks, back with a post to liven up the blog. Today's a great day with many interesting happenings.

First up, in school, we had a whole series of events lined up for us. We had the CHIMO Project Runway Competition which featured 3 students per Upper Sec class modelling the ethnic costumes that their classmates had mixed and match for them. So glad that my class got 3rd prize!

This was followed by programmes in the hall. We had the usual national day recitation. However, it was acted out by the drama club members which made it more interesting. We had a performance by the school choir. Well done Samantha! Yeah, we got to see the talents of students through TK Idol grand finals....guess what 3e6 won the title.

The announcement of the best dressed male and female teachers shocked most especially the news that photoshop was one of the best dressed teachers. I thought that his dressing was terrible. It looked like a bathrobe, an emperor's cloak. In conclusion, "golden freak or chicken" seems to be the word to discribe him. Rather fuuny, provided quite a bit of entertainment and caused much uproar!

After school, we went to Bugis to celebrate Sabrina's belated birthday. Having lunch at PastaMania before buying our robotics T-shirts and taking neoprints, we had a ball of a time. By the way, have you ever wondered why a snorous sound is created and the dry ice vibrates when it is in contact with a dry metal spoon? It does not happen when in contact with a dry plastic spoon. Yet to figure out the answer.

Yep, that's about all from me. Stay cool, work smart and play hard! Cheers!

An Interesting Afternoon?

2006-07-11T17:18:00.000+08:00

Eh!!! I think that this post must be one of the *most* interesting posts EVER on SLS.

Ok. Today, me and julia went to tampines interchange to have a drink and chat. So we sat outside the McDonalds and just chatted about life while sipping our drinks. (Since I didn't have any homework, and there aren't any CAs for this week)

There was this woman in a red shirt and jeans sitting at the table next to ours, and she had a weird hairstyle. Sort of a put-a-bowl-over-your-head-and-cut kind of hairstyle.

After some time, she abruptly broke the peacefulness and broke out in laughter. To be honest, her laughter was obscenely LOUD and sounded very much like an evil witch's laughter.

I looked at her like this --> O_o

Julia: "Huh? I thought she talking to her friend? No meh--" *looks over* "oh my god."

Me: HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHA

Julia: HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

and we sat there and laughed at the absurdity of her behaviour in public. So weird can!?

After awhile, she left. On the way to the bus interchange, she laughed really loudly again. And this malay girl walked past her, and saw her laughing to herself. And the malay girl laughed too, along with us! =D

From this, I think that laughter is infectious, even if the one who started it is mentally unstable!

Then later, julia asked me to look at this bunch of teenagers---a guy with two girls---who were walking past. And the guy was ABNORMALLY FAIR! He can shoot SK-II advert ok. And to add on to the whiteness, he even dyed his hair white. And he had long hair, like those japanese anime shows.

(Hey, since he's so obsessed with the colour white, he should join the PAP, right?)

After looking at this patch of white, I saw a patch of a familiar shade of hot pink.

Then I went "OHMYGOD".

That guy was using MY handphone. Motorola Razr V3 PINK.

Yeah.
PINK.

What the?

And me and julia sat there laughing once again, due to the weirdness of the situation.

Yep. And while I was waiting for my bus, I heard maniacal laughter again. I turnedmy head to the right, and saw, to my shock, the mad woman we saw earlier, queueing up for bus 65. What the??? And this time, she laughed even LONGER, HARDER, LOUDER, and more NEUROTICALLY.

And everyone at the bus interchange just STAREDDDDD at her really hard.

Her laughter just echoed all over the bus interchange, which was a rather unpleasant place to be in, then.

When she finally boarded the bus, she laughed more frequently all of a sudden. Then, when she saw the bus driver, she laughed. I think the bus driver was damn funny. Know why?

Coz he actually smiled back at her.

WHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA

THAT WAS FUNNY!!!

Oh ya. And, when I got a seat in the bus, after a few stops, this guy sat next to me. And you know what?

When he took out his handphone, I almost fainted.

Why lei?

Coz.

His nokia N70 handphone was a very sweet metallic HOT PINK.

WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO????????????

HAVE ALL THE GUYS IN THIS GENERATION COME TO LOVE THE COLOUR PINK?

WAIT!

I DUNT WANNA MARRY SOME GUY WHOSE FAVOURITE COLOUR IS PINK!!!

Scary can. Omigosh. So gay!

ok. shall end here! =)

Haha hi everybody! I haven't posted in a VERRRYYYYY LOOONG TIME!!!
But I better post this one while I'm still free.
Because.
It involves the future of my junior.
Very important.

Okies so here goes!

All that I know about sec 3 geog:

It's very different from sec 2 geog, really. In triple science, we are FORCED to study Human Geography(as much as I dislike it).

So, what's so different about Human Geog and Physical Geog?

I tell you VERY DIFFERENT! (in my opinion lah. hehe.)

Human geog: we study stuff like agriculture. I'll give you a few examples of what we studied. 1) Rice cultivation, 2) Aeroponics/Hydroponics (modern way of cultivation) So it's stuff like how people grow the crops, why they grow crops, blah blah blah. And also MAP READING. (to the dismay of many)

We also study things like how all these modern ways of growing crops can benefit the world and Singapore as a whole.
In sec 4 we will study TOURISM! Means that the Integrated Resort in Singapore will be a huge topic of discussion for us.

BTW b4 we made our streaming choice Mrs Chia told us smth like the elective geog I'm studying now, when go JC, is not enough or smth? Dunno. And dun care.

HEHE

Okie. That's about all for human geog, very summarized.

My human geog not gd, hehe. =P

Physical Geog: More scientific. (I like!) You study stuff like how tornadoes/volcanoes form, types of terrains, weather stuff. Alot of scientific stuff lah.

But WARNING: I think physical geog requires intense memorization? Like bio like that.

Coz the textbook looks chim to me. hehe. And people don't usually score well for physical geog from what I have seen so far. (for term 1 and 2 at least) I shall not comment further, because I don't take physical geog. =/ Therefore I am not in a gd position to comment about it. Any SLS volunteers willing to elaborate?

Overall, I think that lower sec geog is mostly physical geog! Any SLSians wanna comment also?

History lei???

Eh. Actually my lower sec history wasn't GREAT to begin with. It was either ok or bad. Because I hate answering history questions. Write until hand pain larh. And waste ink. Oh no I sound so biased.

But actually, in upper sec, you'll get to study WORLD HISTORY! Which is much much much cooler than what we study in lower sec!

From what I heard from people, it is said that one should not take history if one has no interest in history, because... upper sec history can get difficult if you have no interest.

So, if you have the interest and work hard, you will go all the way. =D

Just like Richard Branson said about work: "If it's not fun, move on."
He said that he became a billionaire by having fun while during his work.

Think about it this way.

When you're having fun, you're happy. When you're happy, you're naturally more productive. When you're more productive, of course get more money loh. hehe!

Same goes for your studies! Study what you like, make the best out of it.

Oh ya. Just in case you didn't know. Your sec 2 streaming choice can affect what course you take in JC and University. So must think properly. For example wanna be doctor, now MUST take triple science. (if i'm not wrong, that is.) Can check out NUS site if you want to.

Wish you all the best in your academic career!!!(studies) =D

Back with a BANG!!!!

2006-06-24T17:17:00.000+08:00

Hiya, I am back! Seeing that the blog is so bare with nobody writing, I thought I just had to get it started. Yep, the Xi'an trip was a very enjoyable and memorable trip. The lessons and curriculum there are rather well-planned and interesting. Like the physics lessons, the teacher actually conducted simple experiments in class to explain a certain concept more clearly. Took a picture of the teacher. Xinyi said that she looked inferior to any others from our school. A lady of steel, that's how I would describe her. The scenery is just breathtaking. The teachers in-charge of us there were very friendly and always acceded to our requests. Btw, Fruity was a funny character that we encountered.

Turning to the 2006 Fifa World Cup now. Wow, the group stages just ended and now for the competition for the round of 16.

Germany vs Sweden

England vs Ecuador

Argentina vs Mexico

Netherlands vs Portugal

Italy vs Australia

Ghana vs Brazil

Switzerland vs Ukraine

France vs Spain

So exciting yet so tragic. South Korea's hopes were dashed after losing to Swizerland while France beat Togo. No Asian country qualified this time round. The Czechs were also suprising knockout by African underdogs Ghana. I will be cheering for Germany and England. Edha s supporting Australia. So which teams do you all support? Haha....

Feeling stressed and want music to calm you down, get the Limited Edition Jay Chou Swaroski 512MB MP3 player for only $139. Only 2000 in the world! Comes with many acessories such as 2 tracks from the Initial D movie that cannot be found in the original soundtrack . Interested ppl can give me a buzz and I will tell you more details of how and where to purchase.

Alright! That's all for now. Hope that I have brought back some life. Pls write anything you wish to share with us on the blog, okay? Let SLS live up its name, SLS Wan Sui!!!!

my BONI lies over the ocean.

FAIZA: UPDATE UR BLOG!!!!

CHUN: MAIL ME AND TAG THE SLS BLOG

SAM (the man): MAIL mE SAM I MISS U!!!

CASS: JUST mail me and smile :) a big smile the moment she reads this message

2006-05-24T08:29:00.000+08:00

hello everyone.

I REALLY dont know why I cannot put up my photos. So i shall just blog some crap. Ok right now i feel really bored cause there is no one to crap to and irritate. Iwish I was going to school so I could actually be doing something. I am going for my school entrance exam today at about 2pm. I really hope that I will do well and earn an admission. Please wish me luck. Hey today i recieved an email form heymath telling me to do graphamatica. like i will. i think i still have the account with them. i did not know that(actually i made myself belive that). did you know that if u go to someones house here, you will find no lock in the toilet or bedrooms!!! muhahahahaha. it is an advantage for perverts. melbourne itself is bigger than spore. when you fly over spore, you can see the whole of it. but when you fly over melbourne, you cannot see the whole of it. from sec 1 to jc2 you are in college and after that u leave for uni. so know i shall be applying for college. how cool is that!!!! and also that i DO have to take aussie o levels BUT they are really CHICKEN FEET according to all my cousins who have taken it. also that here if someone say aww that is fully sick, they actually are saying that something is awesome. hehe total opposite of what it is in singapore. and that pizza here costs 5 dollars, yes my friends one large pizza is just 5 dollars. as opposed to 30 dollars in singapore and about 2 liters of milk is just 2 dollars and 1 kg of onions is 5 to 6 dollars and one papaya is 13 dollars!!!!!! and just 1 box of tissues is 1.90!!! can u believe it!!! it is really expensive here but certain things are ridiculously cheap. like if u buy a car here it costs about 15 000 only. toyota corolla is that price. ya. can u belive that we pay sooooooooooooooo much in spore for a car and here it is ridiculously cheap. you can get a second hand car for less that 5000 dollars. oh ya and my dad now has a huge land rover, courtesy of my dads company. it is a huge huge kind of a truck. the seats are higher that my knee!!!! i have soo much more to tell u guys but cannot remember right now haha.

i shall post later.

EDHA CALLLED AND SHE SAYS "HI" TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!

SHE'LL BE SENDING US HER ADDRESS SOOOON

What a sad life.

2006-05-16T18:39:00.000+08:00

Ok. I have nothing better to post. If I post about politics, either nobody (except chunling & julia) will be interested, or I will kena sued! Then when I say sorry, they the almighty will come after me and ask me to exprain because sorry not enough.

aiya I don't need to exprain more right? You all know who I'm talking about. But what I am going to talk about is related somewhat to THE ALMIGHTY THEM.

Anyway, back to the main topic. I was on the bus home today, and there were these 2 guys (looks like + or - 30 years old) sitting behind me. Then... one of them started to talk about his life.

I shall put his words in point form to save your precious time. (oops since when did I start to eavesdrop on ppl's conversations? heehee)

1) Sigh. When can I afford a car?
(I was thinking: Uhh. You how old only? Think about buying car liao ah?)

2) Haiz. Now I want to study also cannot study. All because I quarrelled with my mum in the past... Now she's so angry with me, don't want to give me money for studies. I want to study the Business Management course in poly one... Now I need to work for the money. But it's okay lah. I'm willing to work.
(I was thinking: that sounds really depressing. Suddenly I feel an urge to study.)

3) (talking to friend) You didn't know? There's a shoestring inside *a certain brand i dunno wad name* cigarettes what. Before I smoke I always pull out. Dun believe next time I show you!
(I was thinking: What the #$%^&*??!! You say you no money, then still waste money on SMOKING??!! Dun deserve my pity muahahahhahahahhaaaaa)

4) (talks about the red lever thingy that can be used to escape from the bus in cases of emergency)
(I have no comment)

5) Dunowhen can I get my own house. Haiz. If I get this SIA job, I will pay off all my debts etc etc. (and then he starts telling his friend about some loan from the company)
(my comments on this: uhhh. Debts? Where you get debts from??? *suspiscious look* And besides, got debts how to buy house -__- not to mention car.)

6) Har? Dun get this job... cannot lah. I must work 2 jobs to be safe lah. This job only not enough money to keep me going.
(I was thinking: Hah? OF COURSE LAH YOU IDIOT you know how much one cigarette costs?)

Hehe. Like Bahiah says, "What a sad life.".

Conclusively, I think that this guy is still at fault, as he has probably lead a terrible life so far. And he has also handled his money terribly and has ridiculous wishes for now. No comment.

Erm, but I have something to say to the Almighty People.

Lots of graduates and young people don't have jobs.
And they are damn hell the unhappy.
What do you do? You ignore them, and the generation I belong to.
Please don't forget, that these are the people that will be voting in the future GEs. Your fate is in out hands. The country's fate is in our hands too.
Kindly provide something more practical than lift upgrading.

=) A smashing new layout!!! A cool new song!!! =D

2006-04-15T18:02:00.000+08:00

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh babehh!!!
(hint: bahiah)

hehe. Nice to post again. I'm supposed to practice questions in my physics TYS but here I am. Blogging, changing the layout and the song. Oh crap.
I bet you all got enough of the "I'd Do Anything" song.
SO...
The new song is one of my favourite songs... "Follow Through" by Gavin DeGraw. So here are the lyrics if you'd like to sing along.

Oh, this is the start of something good, don’t you agree?
I haven’t felt like this in so many moons, you know what I mean?
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet

So, since you want to be with me
You’ll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I’ll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through

These reeling emotions they just keep me alive, they keep me in tune
Oh, look what I‘m holding here in my fire, This is for you
Am I too obvious to preach it
You’re so hypnotic on my heart

So, since you want to be with me
You’ll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I’ll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through

The words you say to me are unlike anything that’s ever been said
And what you do to me is unlike anything that’s ever been
Am I too obvious to preach it
You’re so hypnotic on my heart

So, since you want to be with me
You’ll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I’ll see you everyday

So since you want to be with me
You’ll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I’ll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through

You’re gonna have to follow
Oh, this is the start of something good, don’t you agree?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hehe I like the new layout and I hope that all of you will like it, especially photoshop. >_< (hint: PINK!!!) Very cutesy-pie huh. Ok. I think the only person who won't like it is... Commando? But alamak so cute lah I think he also cannot stand it!!! Hehehehehehe there I go laughing about nothing again. Thanks to the legendary epidemic that has spread recently throughout TKGS..... HENGOPHOBIA!!!

We need a cure for this!!!!!

Er... I think I better go einsteining later. Hahaha! =D (geddit?)

hello my dear blog readers i am finally updating the blog. i am back with my criticism and this time my dear friends xinyi and julia have supported me in my mission to fill the world with critiscism. lame.

okie here is a poem the the three of us wrote on our way home fom school.

to the tune of yippy yaya yippy yippy ya.

Chorus:
Hengy heng heng hengy hengy heng (2 times)
hengy heng heng hengy hengy heng heng hengy hengy heng heng hengy hengy heng

mr heng's bakery is very oily
it contains lots of carbohydrates and fats.
it is so insoluble it cannot be digested by the enzyme called lipase.

chorus

his bakery makes you go neurotic
it makes your brain rot and become cheese
the cheese is stinkier than the a-math cheese so don't try smelling it

his eyes give you that pervertic look
they stretch beyond the e math book
you feel like running away from that low down creep who is just so yucky

chorus

we should stick a vacuum cleaner to his cheeks
the vacuum cleaner will get all spoilt
because of the disgusting radioactive oil that makes us all go eeeee

his head will reflect sunlight
you can place a plant there to photosynthesize
the rate of photosynthesis will be so high that the scientists will be surprised.

chorus

we offer him some facial blotters
he saturates it and asks for more
we gawk and give the pack and run away so we don't have to see the hengy again

his stubble is green and looks like algae
there is hair sticking out of his lip
i feel like screaming in disgust and calling him a large monster

chorus

this was the song hope you all like it i go neurotic everytime i read this song
kudos to me julia and xinyi
clap clap

the slsian who loves to criticize

----- [ Speech Day Final Powerpoint!!! ] -----

2006-03-24T15:23:00.000+08:00

Hey Jael!!! Got it done in less than half an hour, hehe. I moved the text down a bit so that the bottom part doesn't look so empty. I copied the slide 50 times. Very fast to copy one hehe! So if 50 is not enough juz copy again lor very fast hahaha!
And surprisingly, the file is only like slightly less than 2MB leh!!! Miracle sia!!!

BTW the write up I post where? Or print and give you? Er nvm now it's 24/3/06 3.27pm... I post it up here later? Hehe. Thanks!

http://www.geocities.com/sl_society3/SpeechDayEdited.ppt

here's the link, Jael!!! enjoy! hehe.
btw i gave the background a drastic change... make it look more CLASS!!! >_<
more SHINY!!!
more STYLO!!!
more POSH!!!
and less boring.

you can compare before and after see if you like it!!! (or rather if Mdm Seah would like it)
just compare slides 8 and 9... I re-did the whole thing. eXtreme Makeover!!!

Then you can see white dots on slide 9, on the bowl thingy, right? It's not something wrong with your computer monitor, hehe!
When you preview the slide on full screen, you'll be able to see that they are animated sparks. =D
I also did that. -_-
If you find it ugly just delete it. It's okay. =D If you like it, or want more of it in the other speech day slides, just copy and paste over. I wasn't sure if you want those so I just add there first lor, see how lah. Hahaha!

BTW: Slide 9 is just a revamped version of slide 8. I added sparks, improved the lighting effects to make it more realistic, (not so fake) and added a soft spotlight shining from the bottom right hand corner. I hope Mdm Seah will be happy, amd will stop bothering you.
^_^v

many thanks! =D

Life after one term of Sciensation... useless random thoughts

2006-03-09T18:36:00.000+08:00

I still vividly remember the time when I entered my NRIC and my class with a hand full of over-active sweat glands on that site, on that fateful day.
Andrenalin pumping.
My heart beat accelerating by the second... until it reached terminal velocity, due to the size of my arteries and vessels and veins. Not air resistance, mind you.

"Ohmygoddd plsssss let me into triple science.....puiz puiz puizzzzzz-"

*click*

"OMG YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Yeah then I called edha... She was in 3e7 too... And we were screaming our heads off on the phone.

I find that moment very silly up till this day, which is not exactly very long since that day. All that I was aiming for was to be in 3e6 or 3e7.

And well I got my wish didn't I? But how did it work out so far?

I'd say pretty good. Mixing with a new class wasn't really an easy job for us. There was one thing which I did not expect, which was the constant urge to GO AND MUG!!! All that stress came from my classmates, who are all of above average intelligence. Especially the scholars. I think they are a good influence to us, they spurred me to keep on mugging no matter how tired I was. And not to mention... they are not bimbos and they are really nice people. =) Go 3/7.

I used to fantasize about having science lessons for half the day... Science science science and more science wooot~! But now, I'm not exactly enthusiastic about any of the lessons, especially PE. I'm only enthu about the lesson if I know that there's going to be a practical... Now we're talking, yo.

Oh ya I hate PE. >_< Pinx asked me some time ago to join the cheerleading team. I was like *maplestory F5 face*, "Dun wan lei I later look like clumsy elephant disgrace 3/7" Then she said "wei shen me?"

But being a kind, gracious, and maganimous person, she accepted my excuse. Thank you Pinx!!! =D I am forever grateful to you.

Haizzz and edha is going to migrate... Why leiiiiiiiii dun go leeiiizzzz you're gonna make bahiah really miserable... Not to talk about the whole of 3/7 and sls. I hope I will never get to buy that keychain for you.
Hurh!

I still love science. >_<

I didn't expect to get good grades for all my science subjects for some pessimistic reason. Not trying to show off here but I actually got 7/7 for that Bio formative test... The chilan one. Highest in class can. I was jumping and flapping my hands up and down looking like some insane bird-human when Mrs Ngin told the class that. Okay. Maybe I should not have done that, as there were people who failed. I hereby apologise. But. Hey man. I got 1.5/4 for one of my bio formative tests because I phrased my answer wrongly. So, hehe!

Then I'm not exactly pleased with my physics results because I mean HEY who else in tkgs knows what is antimatter??!! (maybe mr yong?) 70+ only lei physics. Or was it like 60+. Cannot remember. Progress report tomorrow... We will see then. Then chem was like HAIZ because I don't know what I was writing for the chemical formulae thing. X_x

And my amaths got 80+ emaths got 60... feel so jaded. Well at least my parents didn't waste money on amaths tuition right??? Hehe!

O_o
Study and CA until one eye big one eye small liao. Oh no.
"My beautiful face!" (quote:julia)
"I need a holiday." (quote: edha)
Yeah right me too! And we get HOMEWORK during the holidays, how's THAT!!!
Must work harder for term 2 ya SLS. We can do it! Yeah!

SLS wan sui!
Geeks wan sui! *hint faiza*
Yay!

Hey everybody! I came across this video made by some mapler today. It's lame, it's stupid, it's idiotic, the guy in there is pathetic, but it is nonetheless enjoyable and HILARIOUS.

http://www.youtube.com/?v=Ef79-AFOhmY

Yepx that's the link!

BTW to all non-maplers... a stone gollem (the stone monster thing in the video) is a tough monster to fight.

Alum Crystals

2006-02-13T16:21:00.000+08:00

My scientific report on the growth of my crystals!!! Right here in SLS!!! Ain't that exciting??!!

Okay it's not exciting I know.

But I'm going to show you all the pics anyway.

I started growing the crystals on the very afternoon...11th of February 2006.
The 2 seed crystals were about 7mm in length.

Yea I apologise for the poor image quality... It was taken with my handphone's camera. =P
Yep so the 2 seed crystals looked like that!

The next day, at about 9pm or so, my beloved alum solution was kept in here like this... And it will be kept like this forever until all the water evaporates from the solution.

You see the Focus mag there on the left?? My favourite ok!!! =D

And I opened the cover...
behold!

Blimey! That's a fair bit of water which had evaporated!!!
Am I going to see a nice, big, crystal in there?

*drumroll*

and...

OMG I SEE RED BLOOD CELLS AND HAEMOGLOBIN!!!

Bah they're just the solution of alum+concentrated red food colouring...relax. I kind of dried the 2 crystals on tissue paper first. Apologise for the blood-like appearance!(and the blurness)

They were almost 1cm long... I'm rather happy with the results ya know.

Then I checked them today afternoon after my lunch.

Low and behold.

Exactly 1cm long. Nice right! Ah it's because I'm pro at this, of course.

Jus kidding...!

LOL like real I'm pro... It's only my third time doing this.

Hope you enjoyed my rather unscientific report. =D

"Lettuce entertain you," scientists say.

Was that funny? Hope you got the pun. =D

I'm pretty shocked to hear about Fahima's Fainting Incident in the kitchen.

Well! I forgot if I posted something about my fainting incident, but here goes!

I just came back from the Harry Potter movie last December. (2005) Because the movie was in the afternoon, I kind of forgot to take lunch. My parents just bought some soon kueh home for us to eat.

For some reason, on my way home in my dad's car, I felt really sleepy. I just slept, I didn't bother to think about why I felt sleepy, as that would make me sleepier.

When I reached home, I slept on the sofa after changing my clothes, till about 4pm or so. When I woke up, I felt hungry, and I went to the kitchen to get the soon kueh. Just as I was about to pour the black sauce onto the soon kueh, I dropped the packet. I blanked out for a microsecond. Then, I felt my chin hitting something. My knees hit something really hard. I fell bum-first onto the floor. I tasted blood. Someone was holding me.

My father was like "@#$%^!!!" and asked me if I was okay. Then he loudly told my mum that I had fainted. They were both extremely worried. So was I. I was crying, I didn't know what in the toot had happened.

Oh well... I spent some time crying on the sofa. My parents were consoling me. I found out that I suffered a minor cut on my chin, and some ulcers at the corners of my lips. I kena-ed a few pretty bad bruises on my knees and on the left side of my face too.

My mum called the hospital to just ask them if they knew why I fainted, and they think that I fainted because I didn't have enough glucose in my blood. (yea coz I forgot to eat.)

Yea. And so I spent a few melancholy days. The day after my fainting incident, I went mapling (as usual) and a guy cheated me AND another guy our fame. He said that he would pay us 5000 mesos for faming him, and then he went "muahahahhahaa" and logged out.

The rest of the days were not very good either, especially when my wounds hadn't healed yet.

But well! All is well now. And well, the graph of life is like a stockmarket. Everything will be well after you feel unwell for awhile.
Of course, if you drop into a well... Well, I don't think you're going to feel very well for a couple of months.

WELL, that's enough WELLS for today. And my fainting incident story ends here.

Today, I bought a toy rabbit (it's called Mimihopps, WELL, don't ask my why.) It's reeeeaaaaalllllllllllyyyyy cuuuteee and reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaallllllllyyy expensive. (30 bucks) But she can accompany my other Mimihopps keychain.

I also bought some pens, my favourite science magazine, and Stephen Hawking's best-selling book, which was on the top-seller list for a whole whopping FOUR YEARS in the London newspaper, 'The Sunday Times'. It's about physics (yay), especially about those topics Einstein researched(yay yay), which involves astrophysics and the cosmo-related-happenings.(yay yay yay)

My mum thought that Stephen Hawking looked like a retarded guy, but that is the absolute opposite of the truth. The amazing thing is that this guy can't walk and write. He can't even speak properly!!! How did he actually write a book??!!

Oh yeah and yesterday afternoon I spent my time making a saturated alum (stands for aluminium potassium sulphate, it's a kind of salt.) solution. 'For what?', I hear! Think chemistry! Yes, to grow crystals! =D I chose the red powder. (it's actually alum with concentrated red food dye.) I was following the instructions from the crystal-growing kit. Hope the two seed crystals will grow to be nice, big, transparent, smooth, eight-sided, shiny crystals! =D

Only then, shall I place one of them in a pure alum solution, which is transparent. So I'll get a crystal with a red middle and a transparent exterior.

COOLNESS!

You shall see the results in a few months' time. I promise. If I forget, or if I get too busy, remind me k? I'll post pictures of my two seed crystals... If I can! =D

Meanwhile, I wish everyone all the best in the upcoming 5 CAs. I'm getting immune to them.

A few words of wisdom.

+++ Work hard, play hard. +++

Change the "hard" to smart.

Wow, I know that I have not typed for a long time. Hen bao qian, qing duo duo bao han! Everything's been just fine. Very busy so far with CAs bombarding me. Also got to prepare for Prefects' Conference in the later part of March. My new class's fine, a great bunch of people! The teachers teaching my class are very fine. Recently noticed that Zut-zut has been wearing floral shirts to school, looking bright and gay! Anyway, the new season of The Amazing Race, Lost 2 and Survivor Panama Exile Island. There's just no time to watch TV and go online. If I slack this year, I will have a hard time next year. How are things going for you guys. I heard that Ju's Chinese teacher is very strict. OBS was just great for me, how about for all of you? OK, just remember to meet on every Wednesday during recess. All the best in everything you do and may we be the bestest of friends forever.

OBS

2006-01-30T10:49:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone... Are all of you as bored as me? Well if you are then read on.........

OBS has definitely strengthened me mentally and physically. I shouldn't have whined about it so much at first, actually.

Day 1: We did a belaying practice... I couldn't even climb to the top. I was so scared, although it was a pretty short distance down. But instructor kenny kind of encouraged me so I did it! At night, I missed my bed man.

Day 2: The tripod. It was really high up there, and at first I didn't wanna go. But at least I completed 2/3 of the whole obstacle course!!! I hereby thank my whole watch and instructor kenny again! =D I learnt to think twice. And not to make rash judgements anymore.

Day 3: Kayaking was gruelling. I was in the single kayak, and it was terrible in the afternoon, when my hands were aching like mad... And the tide was against me. After much crying and whining and sweat, I managed to catch up with the group!!! =D But I was still traumatised at that time. Then I was the first to go on the speedboat to go to the island... But while putting in my second leg into the speedboat, I accidentally stepped on instructor's toe. I apologised frantically, of course. =P I hereby give a big apology to instructor kenny. SORRY!!!!! I'm such a klutz when I'm in a state of shock. But, I learnt not to give up, no matter how tough the going gets.

Day 4: Hurrah! Going home day. =D I bought the blue sleeved shirt with the white middle part. And I went to eat fish and chips at fish and co for dinner with my parents! =D

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall, I have a good idea of how the people in my watch actually work. I also have seen their true colours. This particular girl whom I thought would make a great leader on the first day turned out to be a pretty bad leader. My impression for her has changed 180 degrees. (means for the worse.) And there are a few more people in my watch who are also in my class... Frankly, I think their characters suck after staying with them for 3 nights and 4 days. Some people do really have a terrible character. And they don't realise it. Though I made enemies, at least I know what kind of people they really are.

But well, at least I've made friends with Know, a thai scholar. =) Vedelyn is pretty nice too, though I thought that she was fierce at first. =P
-----------------------------------------------

On my social life in school.

Aiyowei I don't like alot of people in my class... I think. Those sitting all around me... I'm ok with them... Go recess with them also ok. Pinx is actually a nice person lei! Then Know got into drama club... so cool right!! Haha. Su Ann... Though she belongs to one of those 'cool' cliques arh... But she's a good person lah. Ann also. Her surname is ngiaw but she is not ngiaw one. Hehe so don't worry, haha.

In the camp denise they all keep saying that I'm very scientific can~! I think it's normal lah. At least to me. I think they said that because their science is terrible? Bai tuo!!! Science is a whole lot cooler than makeup!!! You need science to make makeup, you know! Then I dunno what's the whole fuss about people in sports CCAs... Sports CCA so wad??? Cool meh??? Art and comp club alot better k!!! =D We don't really win anything but it's a good CCA that can train our brains to make us the geniuses of the future. Ya so those sports one should start to respect us because the country shall be in our control in the future... Muahahahahahhahahaha *more evil laughter*

I'M BORED!

Aiya whatever lah. I really really wanna go to hwa chong JC and be with all the science/math geeks/geniuses. Man... It's like no one in the class shares the same interest as me. -_- So siansified. Why my class got so many those type of ah lian gals whom I don't like? Why my class people got alot like so bimbo, so stuck up people, etc? (you all know what I mean right)

And no one in class really likes to make fun of mr tooty and zut zut. So sian............................ HAIAYAAAAAAA The best people are still bahiah and edha... Can share my woes with them. Sort of. And my happiness too. =)

Everyone in class goes to recess with their old friends, like me.

But inevitably, some sls people are going to recess with their new friends. =( SLS is splitting. 2 years to build up a bond, weeks to break it.

Everybody is just so quiet that I don't feel like talking to them. =P Well, I hope things will change as time goes by!!! =D Maybe I should talk to fahima more... Then I shall be friends with not only faiza but her twin sister. How cool is that. Okay not so cool. HAIYA I'm bored.................................

And why did arts central stop showing brainiac???

=(

Nevermind lah. I shall concentrate on studying hard. And awe everyone in class with my As... Muahahahhahahahahahhahaaa.... And take over the world... Muahahahahahahahahha!!!!

Okay you can see that I am really, really, really bored right now.

You all better go recess with all the sls people one day or I will come personally to yell at you ok. I haven't talked to all of you for so long... =/ But I excuse faiza and chunling cuz we always go to recess together! =) Yea so the rest you all know what to do. And don't just know how to do... You must DO IT! (my instructor say de)

Anyway, happy chinese new year!

Xinyi =D

OBS reflections

2006-01-28T19:39:00.000+08:00

hey gals!!!
how's everything been going? been a long long time since we last talked all together..been so caught up with our own classes and stuff.the tagboard has been so "dead" also...
think obs have widen my horizon about people,their character and attitudes...shall not elaborate further.but overall OBS rocked...lurv 3/2 but of cuz 2/1 n sls is here ----> ('v') hahah.. so sweet rite.yeap.oh ya! one big thing to highlight.i want to commend faiza on her determination to carry on with the obs course although she was hurt... really spurred me on esp during my land expedition when i was so tired and fustrated i thought of faiza then i felt so ashamed of myself... saw baba on the way and she encouraged me on ;) really helped...hahha..kx.think the least person i talked to was sam throughout the whole obs =P paiseh... will catch up with you all soon...how abt setting aside one day to go recess together every week...think itz easier this way to keep in contact.

reply to my aunty: yep anytime during june holx can.. provided no sch proj. fro now juz decide on a time lohx... i'm fine with it.

edha everywhere i went at obs i always bump into you. dunno if its gd or bad...hahaha... chunling.. yun su n jessica rock man.. haha they realli brought much joy to me.
xinyi though didn't see you in the same camp but i was thinkin of you throughout the whole obs...realli!'
obs was a gd chance where i had the oppurtunity to bond with my class...yep.. hope your had the same feeling as me..wellx... gd or bad we;ve just gotta accept it rite.so all the best in your new classes and rock on kx.

HAPPPYY NEW YEAR AND HAVE A MEANINGFUL HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!!
luv ju

AMaths Tuition

2006-01-21T18:03:00.000+08:00

I also have something to say!!!

When my Amaths tuition ended today, my teacher, Mr Twang, was discussing with us when to have a replacement lesson, because next Saturday is New Year's Eve or something.

Ok. So, our class had about 2 newcomers today.

Number 1) (the one who came first) A superrrrrr nerdy guy.

Number 2) Some normal looking guy.

Then, Mr Twang suggested having it on 3rd feb or something. I think it's a Friday. And he suggested to have it at around 6pm.

The nerd said, "Okay. But then can have in the afternoon anot arh?"

Mr Twang: Em... Wo shi xue xiao de lai shi, afternoon bu ke yi. (means I am a school teacher, I can't do it in the afternoon.)

xinyi's note: sorry... ah twang uses alot of chinese.

Nerd: Har... other day lei?

Mr Twang: How about the following sunday can anot. Morning.

Xinyi: Sorry ah teacher that week my school giving alot of CAs lei I need to study. >_<

Mr Twang: Haiya... (sighs) Your school can my school cannot lei.

Nerd: "Aiyah, I morning very hard to wake up lei. Then somemore sunday is my family day."

Mr Twang *getting a little wee bit impatient*: Den I don't have family day MEH???

Xinyi: *secretly laughing, no one notices*

Nerd: so how...

Mr Twang: Arh... erm... How about one of the Saturday's lesson extend for 1/2 an hour?

Xinyi: Ok.

Nerd: Ah... Lao shi, (means teacher) extend 1 hour can anot?

Mr Twang: You siao ah! You don't zhen (means sabo) these 2 girls la(points to the two girls next to me) then they have E maths directly after that leh! Ni yao hai ta men bu 6 ge xiao shi ah! (means you wanna sabo them make them go tuition 6 hours straight ah??!!)

Nerd: Orh.....

Xinyi: *laughs*

Mr Twang: Ok. So you want afternoon one ah?

Nerd: Morning can?

Mr Twang: HAIYA you ah! Ni gang cai jiang ni bu yao zao shang de, xian zai you yao! Ni heng lucky ah. Wo de shou shang zhi you yi zhi bi! (holds up marker) Ru guo wo xian zai shou shang you yi ba dao wo hui diu zai ni de tou ah!

(means: You just now say you dun wan class in the morning, then now you want!! You very lucky ah. My hand only got 1 marker. (holds up marker) If my hand now got a knife arh, I will throw it at your head arh!!!)

Nerd: *embarassed*

Xinyi: (in my mind) LOL

Mr Twang: So march holidays want? On a friday.

Nerd: But teacher!!! Wo you CCA leh. (I got CCA leh)

Mr Twang: Zhi you ni yi ge ren got CCA de MEH!!! (Only you have CCA MEH!!!) I am trying to change timing for my CCA already! You go and tell your teacher LOH!!! (begins long story about CCA teacher negotiating with him)

Xinyi: Mr Twang march holidays is ok but I *may* have CCA camp. I'm not sure yet but I will go and negotiate with my teachers if there is.

Mr Twang: *relieved* ok March holidays Friday, in the afternoon. I will inform you all if got any changes hor.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

and that is finally the END of the whole long silly story. I never thought that a nerdy-nerd-NERD could be so frustrating and fussy. Is he a MAN???!!! Ah Twang is a guy, the other 2 guys also guy, the 3 girls in the class(including me) were obviously irritated by the NERD.

wah laooooo so irritating luh.....................

Oh yea i went for a trim today it turned out pretty ok. =D This guy (whom I thought was mentally disabled at first, from his looks) is actually pretty good. This guy is so much better than that stoopid woman who chopped off my hair mercilessly in december. Then the other guy with maplestory hair who blew my hair straight also dis it alot better than the stooooopid woman.

Justice has prevailed.

And don't judge a book by its cover.

Xinyi =)

Enjoy your OBS! Because I think I won't. AHAHHAHAHAA!!! But I will try to make the most of my life while I'm there. LOL. Cya on Monday, guys~ =D

Hindi School

2006-01-21T15:12:00.000+08:00

ok guys. today i realized how angry i could get. i went for hindi school today and i got soo angry at this boy that i started shouting at him. here is the story.

i have been with this boy in the same class for about 1 year. he has always been extra irratating to the girls and buped purposely at oru faces. apart form that he would mimic us and also interrupt the lesson so the teacher has to stop and ask him to shut up. he was rude to the teacher as well. so today he started to mimic one of my friends and then all the boys started laughing. that was the last straw i completely lost it.i got soooo angry that i forgot whAT I was doing or where i was i just strated shouting at him. i dont even know what i said to him. i was so angry. all that i could see was his face and all i could understand was how i could make him feel hru and how i cloud make him dry. i have never felt that angry before. it was soooo good to vent all my frustration adn anger out on him.

ok i shall tell this story in more detail when i meet u guys as i am in a hurry right now.

sung Let's Get PHYSICal, PHYSICal~! Let's get BIOLOGICAL too! And how about getting CHEMICAL?

2006-01-12T16:00:00.000+08:00

Today was a pretty okay day. The day started out pretty bad for me because I felt kind of anti social. I didn't know what to talk about except pendulum swings/atomic clocks/brainiac, things that no one would like to talk about in this school. Haiz.

I think a bad morning kind of means a bad day ahead. I woke up today morning to my horror that brainiac was not shown on arts central last night. Instead, it was replaced by some malay movie. My father told me that because he recorded brainiac for me last night to watch it today night... How can any movie be more important than BRAINIAC???

HUH!!!???

HAIZ.

ARTS CENTRAL!!! I HATE YOU!!! YOU BETTER COMPENSATE ME WITH ONE FULL WEEK OF BRAINIAC!!!

Okokok enough of my ranting or else nobody would wanna read on.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*self discipline*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I apologise for the rather silly title because I'm kind of obsessed with geek science now.

*bow*

Chemistry was okay. But Mrs Chan gave our class a booster question (about solving chemical equations) which our class answered in a flash. SHe said that another class couldn't do it and she had to give them a day. Hur?

And so... Mrs Ngin's lesson was pretty good because she talked about lots of cool things like cells and tony buzan's talk and that graph and all that.

Physics was interesting! Yup. Mr Yong cleared all my burning questions about the period of pendulums. Now I feel much better.

Chinese was so-so. But the Flash Video we watched about an extremely sadistic love story (it was a real story) was kind of freaky.

Legacy lesson rocked... because... su ann made the whole class laugh with her terrible drawings (or works of art) and of course her personality. Mr Ang joined in too and it was terribly funny. For the auction thing, I bidded 1000 dollars just to be extremely smart/intelligent. That's half my money. =P But I don't have any regrets, hehe. Now our class motto is french, and our class logo is going to be french fries. And in the future, our class shall be decorated with french fries.

How cool is THAT!?

Hahaha... And the new computer club teacher in charge is having some problems communicating with us, because we get her wrong and she gets us wrong too! I don't know why. Wrong frequency? I want Mr Ang back! ='( Or maybe my chem teacher Mrs Chan could take over??? ='(

Pweazze???

Finally, to end this terribly boring post, I just wanna say that my father actually picked me to design the new carpark sticker for our estate. -_- Why me lol... I'm a terrible digital artist. But oh well. The current sticker is horrendously UNORIGINAL and BORING!!! It's green and white. And the worst part is that it's just a picture taken from microsoft word CLIPARTS.

I shall revolutionise the whole estate.

And take over the whole world.

Muahahhahahahahahahahhaa.

(was that funny to you? It wasn't to me. I'm just feeling really unimaginative and I'm experiencing the sensation of siansation. I'm BOREDDDDDD)

Boohoo.

Anyway, I would like to thank all the people who had lunch with me today. Hehe. =)

Xinyi

In reply to sam's post... I think I love biology.

2006-01-07T15:59:00.000+08:00

Hey sam! It's been reaaly long since anyone posted, so thanks for taking the initiative to post something, even if it's a short post.

Well, today, I was reading a science magazine, which had an advert for a book about poisons. The highlight was about this guy who took stibium accidentally, and got killed.

There was also an article about cuprum wires.

Later, I went shopping with my mum, and she got an aurum ring. I got a pack of cereal enriched with ferrum from the supermart. I then went to popular to get some pencil plumbum, and came across this book talking about the planet hydragyrum.

I also read another book about kalium deficiency.

Next, I bought an argentum keychain for my schoolbag. While eating lunch, my father asked for less natrium to be added to his noodles.

I later went to an art shop to get some stannums for my new pencil holder, while my father bought some lightbulbs which contained wolfram. What a nice day it was.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you find me talking rubbish, well, actually, I WAS talking rubbish in the above. Of COURSE my family and I didn't do anything like that. If you don't understand some words in bold which I used, please refer to samantha's post! (I used some of them in the wrong way... but anyway, you will get the meaning if you substitute the right word in.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you imagine how would life be if we suddenly had to use latin names for answering all our science exam questions??!! I'm fainting.

Oh yea. Since school has started, I have been wondering how was samantha's canis lupus familiaris, bravo, was doing. Hope he's fine. I know he likes me alot. RIGHT? Bravo?

Hahahaha nah I know he hates me.
=P

You know, whenever I go to a hawker centre for lunch or dinner, I like to order cocos nucifera juice. It's very cooling and refreshing, and is best drunk on a hot day.

Whenever I go to Japan, I never fail to eat their prunus persica jellies and fruits.

And how could I forget! Chinese New Year! My father loves to eat the citrus sinesis that we buy during the new year.

Ok, hope you liked my post! Thanks for reading!!!

surviving heart attack

2005-12-30T09:08:00.000+08:00

hey gals i got a mail from somebody and i thought i should share it with everyone as it seemed very important and useful (my grandad was a heart patient).

May God Bless Us!

EVERYONE MUST KNOW THIS

Let's say it's 6.15p m and you're going home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated.Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to adiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You areonly about fiv e miles from the hospital nearest your home.
Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE

Since many people are alone wh en they suffer a heart attack, without help,the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

*A breath and a cough must be repeate d about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. *

*Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!

A cardiologis t says If everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at least one life.

New song again...

2005-12-21T17:53:00.000+08:00

You all must be sick of the old song... So here's a new one! =)

And the lyrics are here, just in case you're feeling bugged by something constantly, everyday.....

And you just want to sing out loud (and horribly no offense hehe) just to LET IT ALL OUT!!!!!

Hehe. Here goes then. =D

I need time, (time)
love, (love)
Joy (joy)
I need space
Love
I need me

ACTION!

Say hello to the girl that I am
You're gonna have to see through my perspective
I need to make mistakes just to learn who I am
And I don't wanna be so damn protected

There must be another way
Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God, I need some answers

What am I to do with my life
(You will find it out don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I tell them what I like
What I won't
What I don't
But every time I do, I stand corrected
Things that I've been told
I can't believe what I hear about the world, I realize
I'm Overprotected

There must be another way
Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God, I need some answers

What am I to do to with my life
(You will find it out don't worry)
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I need, time (love)
I need, space(This is it)

I don't need nobody
Tellin; me just what I wanna
What I what what what I'm gonna (I need)
Do about my destiny
I Say no, no
Nobody's telling me just what I wanna do, do
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me

Yeah...
What am I to do with my life
Yeah, yeah
(You will find it out don't worry)
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I don't need nobody
Tellin me just what I wanna
What I what what what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny
I Say no, no
Nobody tell me just what I wanna do, do
I'm so fed up with people tellin' me to be
Someone else but me

What am I to do with my life
(You will find it out don't worry)
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Finished singing? Hehe~ well, I hoped you liked this song! ^_^

When I read the lyrics for the first time... They kind of reflect my life.

Though I don't think that I am really THAT overprotected now. Compared to the time when I was younger. But I understand why my parents did that now. I would do that to my kids too. (if I will ever have any, haha) Which parent wouldn't feel worried for their young kids?

Nowadays, I think that girls (or maybe even boys) of our age must be feeling a little lost. (yes, like the television series)

What should I be when I grow up? =O
Is the stream I went to the right one for me? =O
Am I on the right track? =O
What will my future be like? =O
Will daddy and mommy approve of me? =P
Why are these people controlling me??!! >=( (hint fez...)
When can I... just be ME? =/

I feel that currently, there are SO MANY THINGS that I haven't registered in my brain's memory yet. Life is much more than school. There are so many many many other lands to explore. I think we're all like...

One of those hopefuls in the past who wanted to sail across seas discover new lands.

(pause for an 'oooooorrrrhhhh')

Whahahahahahhahahaa!!!

In these in-between times, we are neither xiao mei meis nor matured adults. We are...

The TWERPS.

(Because the smart are nerds, and the stupid are dorks. Courtesy of my friend Junie.)

Okok don't get insulted because I am one too. =D

About me... I can't decide what I want to be. I want to be... er... alot. I want to go to MIT, and (maybe) get a pHD, then become a.......a.....a?

-an astrophysicist at NASA =D
-one of those rover designers at NASA =D
-a millionaire -_- hahahaa this is getting funny
-a humane human who supports human rights

ok enough about me... post about your future ambitions too k?

Ok I don't know what to put for the title, because I'm going to talk about alot of different things in this post. So mind the meaningless title. =P

On Amsterdam... I'm actually SHOCKED to hear that Amsterdam is such a horrible place. If you ask me, I rather have a million dollars than have a million packets of cannabis. MONEY IS THE BEST!!! Drugs are the worst. They make your immune system go crazy. Yep. So kids, stay away from drugs!

Oh ya I remembered that young kids don't read our blog. =P Maybe except Mukund.

The world should come together and fight against drugs, prostitution, porn, corruption, osama bin laden, saddam hussein, and maybe Donald Trump.

To the purification of mankind.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey did any of you watch the fundraising show on channel 8 yesterday? There was this part when the hong kong pop group "Cao Meng" (The group is called Grasshopper) sung a few old songs, because they are very old themselves.

I still remember that song you know!

"Bao bei dui bu qi, bu shi bu ai ni..."
(Translation: Sorry baby, it's not that I don't love you)

The song so diao hor. -__- I was still in kindergarten when that song was popular.

Then the 3 uncles from cao meng were doing some weird dance moves that looked terribly terrible. (maplestory F5 face) And to top it all off, one of the uncles actually forgot his lyrics. -_- Whoops!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh ya. You know those little moments when you sit around with nothing to do, staring at ether? Yup! During one of those moments, I thought of some weird questions.

"What makes my fingernails stick to my fingers?"

"How did I get that strawberry birthmark on my left thumb?"

"Can fishes hear?"

"How many players are there in MapleStory South East Asia?"

"Why does myopia occur? How is it that (example) reading while lying down, or reading without sufficient light cause myopia?"

"Why am I sitting around, thinking about stupid questions, and wasting my youth?"

If you know the answers to any of those questions mentioned above, please create a new post about it!

\\\About my first tuition lesson\\\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Well, I've never had tuition in my entire life of 14 years, 6 months or so, which makes this day rather memorable.

I was waiting a little anxiously for Julia to come, and low and behold, she arrived!

I reached the tuition centre 10 minutes early, and there were already people waiting outside. At around 9am, the Jappy (or Jappie) woman came in to open the doors.

Yep. And so we went into Classroom 4. A nice, decent, cosy, clean, air conditioned room on my first impression. Then, Julia pointed out to me that there was this terrible huge gaping gole in the wall, and if you looked through it, you could see the trees and the busy road outside. The hole was... CHEAPSKATELY partly covered up by a white piece of something. (I don't know what it was)

The class was supposed to start at 9am, but we waited and waited for the teacher and talked about maplestory until about 9.20am, when I said "Is he going to come anot... Stupid leh...". THEN! The guy came in, looking befuzzled.

"Uh... Sorry I'm late arh. I thought is 9.30 then start."

Em... He looked sort of nerdy and mathematical/scientific at first impression. He was wearing a blue shirt and black pants, and he carried a sporty backpack which is a MILLION times trendier AND nicer than Yappy's.

"Uh... Morning."

Then we said "morning" too.

"You know arh, today I went to my locker to take things then I found out they cleared my locker." He said, looking a little shocked, disgusted, and depressed.

"They cleared my locker without my knowledge. Haiz..."

His name was Mr Twang or something? I don't know. He wrote "Mr Twang" but how can you expect me to pronounce that without laughing?

Ok la... He just reminds me of Mr Peh, which makes me want to laugh, that's all. But I think his teaching is quite good. Much much much better than Yappy. I mean he encourages us! Like... after you do a correct step, he'll say something constructive, like "Uh..*looks through steps*Ah can liao."

And when you ask him a question, he gives a proper answer.

Unlike somebody. You ask him a question like "How come I got this?", and he replies "Ah... *looks through steps* eh wait ah give me a minute I go mark my books first."

1 minute............

2 minutes............

3 minutes...............

4 minutes.................

5 minutes....................

"Oh, that one ah, I ask other teachers first, I tell you tomorrow."

His tomorrow is forever.

Yeap! I enjoyed the tuition, also because Julia was with me, hahaha!
Looking foward to the next session.

So, hope you enjoyed my post!
Enjoy the remaining days of the holidays!(from julia)
=D
Looking foward to the SLS meeting tooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi to everyone!

yupps my trip was about the same as xinyi's.... but i went to anmsterdam as well. and holland too. The city of amsterdam is so sad. they are permitted to sell soft drugs there and some of the coffee houses aren't coffee houses. they are DRUG houses. In the red light district as well, there are so many dirty things there like how the prostitutes just sit there waiting for a customer.

there was even this magnet that said "money without cannabis is worse than cannabis without money" the city is practically drug and sex propaganda. I feel so sad for the city.

on a happier note, i saw snow and hail and its so beautiful. there are soooo many cute dogs in europe. =)

2005-12-10T04:00:00.000+08:00

hello everyone. how are you. i went swimming this morning and there were these american girls in the pool. they were about our age. i was astounded to see how they were staring at us. it was as if we were ppl from outer space. just coz our hair is black and skin, dark. it also happens everywhere i go. people talk to us as if we will not be able to understand what they are about to say. this morning when i went to breakfast and asked for some coffee, this guy asked which country i was from. i said i was an indian but i live in singapore. he looked at me and said that "you speak good english. did you grow up speaking it?" i stared back at him and told hime that of course i spoke english well. i studied in english i grew up in an english atmosphre and even in asia english is known by almost everyone. he was pretty shocked to here me say that. i do not think he thought that i would have answered in that way. these ppl think that we are some kind of uneducated poor and useless ppl who know nothing about computers, electronic stuff or anything that they are used to. however there are nicer ppl who do want to know more about our culture the way we live and all.

oh yeah another thing i noticed is that ppl here do not eat rice. my mother was craving for rice so badly because we has not had rice in our diet for soo long. therefore we decided to go to an indain restaurant to get some rice to eat. and let me tell you this i get to eat ice cream free of charge. free flow of ice cream everyday. free food. free pool. free fishing. free arcade. free use of internet. free accomodation and gifts everynight.

shall tell u more when i get back on sunday.

hey guys! i am free right now and it is about 6.48 in the evening and believe it or not it is pitch black down here. for some reason i cannot access hotmail and so i cannot mail anyone of you pics. anyways my camera has run out of battery and we cannot charge it as there is some problem with the voltage of the camera and the socket. disney land was great and we met alot of charaters and took pics with them. i am going to universal studios tml and am really looking forward to it. it is really cold down here and guess what, today we went to disney's animal kingdom and took this ride where you sit in this raft and then you move along with the current of the water in this artificial river. and there is this waterfall in the ride and you fall from it. so we took the ride the first time and got all soaked. then we decided to another time and when we were just about to fall off the waterfall, the raft got stuck and would not move forward. so we were stuck there with twelwe other ppl for almost half an hour all soaked. on top of that it was sooooo cold and our clothes were wet. i was shivering!!! anyways then we got some one to drain out the whole river and then we walked out. people here are really friendly but you can get conned easily too. we got conned yesterday. i shall tell u about it when i get back. oh and yesterday i went to this pool party and because it is cold, the water in the pool is heated so we had alot of fun playing around with the inflatables. ok now i gotta go as my brother wants me to play pool with him. toodles

I'm BACK!

2005-11-29T13:47:00.000+08:00

Hello everyone!!! I'm finally BACK!!! YAY! For better or for worse! =D

Since you all must be sooo bored without me around, I shall write about my trip! (I so bu yao lian(dun want face), hehe. No lah at least edha still updated.)

(PS Edha... the teaching of mr yong was a disaster ahhahahahaa)

I shall write in in the form of the day 1 till today kind of format. This is going to be a super super long post.

BTW I returned to Singapore on the 28th of November, 1pm exactly.

My itenary is at http://www.chanbrothers.com.sg/index.cfm?id=ebro_a&tour_code=E12F&p=new_button.gif&t=new

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 1: My family was terribly excited. (especially me) We wore our long johns and a woolen sweater. Mine was a turtleneck one. And I hated turtleneck sweaters because they make me laugh. When we reached the airport... we realised that the rest of the group was wearing T-Shirts. Oh well.

And so we boarded the plane. Qatar airlines. I thought that Qatar airlines was going to be horrible, but it turned out to be ok! In fact, the plane was a pretty new one. When you turned on or off your reading lights, the light bulb lighted up GRADUALLY, not ABRUPTLY!!! And the airplane lights were cool too. When they wanted to wake us up for some drinks, the lights went from dark blur to light blue to white!! HOW COOL IS THAT!!!??? And the service was very good. We met an old lady, who was the mother of a woman of the same age as my mum. And the daughter was a student of TKGS! Hahaha so cool right.

When we came down the plane, there wasn't even a linking bridge to bring us directly to the airport. Only stairs. -_- And there wasn't even a train after that to bring us INTO the airport. Only a small bus. How pathetic is that.

We stopped at Doha ariport. Doha is the capital of Qatar. And the airport was terrible. It was too small to cope with all the people coming into it... We were squashed, people cut the queue, etc.
And btw, the airport is terribly, horrifically small.

Then we had to wait for the next plane to come to bring us to Zurich. Boring wait. The seats were all taken up, and everyone had to sit on the floor while the tour guide argued with the staff there. The people there somehow ignored her instructions, and arranged the seating by alphabetical order, not by family!!!

Then we went to our gate to wait for the plane to arrive, and this German guy started to talk to my family. He was 50+. He started to talk to me. I ignored him, and he talked to my parents. He said "Germany, DOWN DOWN DOWN!!!" and pointed his finger to the floor furiously, and also said "Germany, NO FUTURE! Down, down! Down! Down! Down. Germany down!!!" Mad chap. That's why I ignored him. Later, a bangala guy passed by, and he cursed him in english. I didn't quite get what he said, but I concluded that he was mad, and we moved away.

On the second plane, the service was not as good. Dunno why leh. But I remember a steward called Paul or something. Okay. Enough for Day One.

Day Two: Breakfast on the plane was not good for me as I expected. The plane was a wobbly one. The airport at Zurich was VERY NICE!!! Same standard as Singapore, but very empty. We went to the Rhine Falls first, and on the way there, I felt like puking, but I didn't. Hehe. It was very cold there, and the rhine falls looked kinda misty. Some fog kinda engulfed it... Making it look magical. I had some hot chocolate and chocolates there, which definitely made me feel better.

Later, we had lunch at the Black Forest. The vegetable soup they served was GREAT!!! The pork knuckles, german sausages, and the cake was so-so. And the pork knuckles were BIG. We then went to look at the cuckoo clocks, which were exorbitantly priced. A guy later demonstrated how they made cuckoo clocks. He was funny. There was a cuckoo clock which depicted a woman hitting her husband on his head with a wooden plank because he wasn't working hard enough. He said "If you see little guys with flat heads running around, you know what happened."

LOL!!!

Thereafter, we proceeded to Lucerne.
I can't remember what was for dinner, though.

Day 3: Breakfast was very pathetic cuz all we had was bread and jam and butter and drinks. PATHETIC!!! We went to the Lion Monument, and then went to Mt Titilis. =D
It was great, because we took cable cars up to the peak! And the best part was that it was SNOWING AT THE PEAK!!! WOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's great to see snow huh! =D

It was snowing very heavily, and the snow was really thick. In fact, it was snowing so heavily that everyone couldn't see what was in front of them. It was fun though.

We had some pasta and tomato soup at the restaurant there, when we spotted Paul the steward! My mum spotted him first and it took me a few moments to figure out where I saw him before. The tour guide said that he was from Romania. (huh?) Oh ya. And the cashier at the restaurant cheated us of 13 francs. Idiot. No receipt some more. Idiotic. &**##%%!!!!!!!!

The tour guide brought us to some place called BUCHERER (Bu-ker-rer not butcherer) Which sold souvenirs and branded watches. The rolexes there were expensive, because if my parents bought a rolex in Singapore, they could bargain with the guy here. (friend mah, haha)

In the evening, we walked across Chapel Bridge. The top of it was filled with cobwebs. Yuck. And there were adult shops there. Halloh! CHAPEL bridge nearby got sex shop. UHH... EM..... They don't like Chapel Bridge izzit? Haha jk.
We had macdonald's for dinner.

Day 4: We had the same pathetic stuff for breakfast. Sniff. Of course, for me, the main highlight of this day was ALBERT'S HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALBERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALBERT!!! We went to the bear pit first, where this nerdy guy in my group kena bird shit on his shirt, *giggle*. The lunch there was pretty good. We ate with the mother and daughter pair. The waitress there was very stuck up just because she doesn't know english. -_- But the cake I ate was very nice! =D We saw the clock tower too!

We stayed at a nice swiss chalet. Our room was a two-leveled one! Bed on top, bed below, SO NICE! So country style.

Day 5: Okay I lazy to type liao... I continue tomorrow k??? Sorry ah! =P

Xinyi =)

2005-11-28T16:29:00.000+08:00

hello everyone! i must say that you all are very very LAZY!!!!!! nobody wants to update the blog (except me of course). how can this blog be a constant support for all those hungry bloghoppers out there. we must keep our blog updated so we can provide updated and vital information to all those good citizens of the world. so i hope that you all will join me to update the blog everyday!

ok lets cut the crap. did you guys here the news about those two husband and wife suicide bombers who went to blow up a wedding? ok let me put it in a summarized way so all of you can enjoy the story.

Husband: Wife, do you want to go and blow urself up at a wedding?

Wife: Oh my dearest husband (bows down) of course i want to be with you in every crucial step of life. i shall do anything to spend time with you. even if it means DEATH!!!

Husband : Oh my faithful wife. come i shall teach you to put the bomb on and blow yourself up. (puts layers of bombs on the wife)

Wife: oh thank you , thank you for contributing to my death.

Husband: ok when i give you the thumbs up sign at the wedding, we blow ourselves up!!!!

Wife: ok.

ON THE DAY OF THE WEDDING.

Husband: (shows thumbs up sign and presses button to activate bomb)

Wife: presses button as well.

10, 9, 8,. 7, 6, 5, 4 , 3, 2 ,1 ,0

Husbnad: AAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!! I AM DYING!!!!!

Wife: (pressing button continously however bomb does not explode!) oh no husband why have you left me all alone??? now what shall i do????

Wife: (runs out with screaming bride)

Wife later gets caught by police and is interrogated.

basically that was the whole story.

so now tell me technology can fail us even at the moment of death. the poor lady is now in jail because her computer which is the bomb got jammed.

i did not know that even the forces of technology are also on our side of the fight against terrorism.

2005 has been a very disastrous year.
there was the bird flu epidemic
tsunami
dengue
south asia earth quake
hurricane katrina
the recent israeli earthquake
bombing of bali
bombing of delhi
bombing of london
the teaching of mr yong
the separation of all of us
and the list goes on

let us all hope that this does not happen again in 2006

The past is gone, let's move on......

Hello people, I'm back from NZ and Malaysia. Really disappointed to learn that I'm not with Xin and Brocoli. However, life still has to go on, right? I learn of others who will be joining you all in your respective classes.

Here is the following list:

3e4: Yanti,Melissa

3e6: Una,Kelly,Pallavi,Yisi,Germaine

3e7:Crystal,Jael,Delia

3e2:Jasmine

Hope that helps! Hope hear more about your trips when we meet. Since we are doing the SLS album, we should also ask Edha to choose a song to sing. Don't really know what to talk about. Are your going to the class Chalet? First day maybe we can meet during recess? Oh... ya when I went back to school last week, guess what, I saw Zut Zut in a black T-shirt, she was waving her hands happily when she saw one of the teachers. (Both seemed like long lost sisters) She was smiling so widely that it looked comical:P, even bigger than that. She is in-charge of the Sec 4 O-level exams. Hope to see all of you soon at Sam's house. Anyone watching Harry Potter? Heard its great!

I'm very very very very very very.......... glad and happy to be part of SLS for the past 2 years and hope that everyone will still stay in touch through this very cool blog! Hope to be in the same HCL class as Ju and Sam.

That's all for now. Thanks once again for being such wonderful and supportive pals of mine for the past years and may the force be with you!

ok i figured since everyone is writing what they shall miss about their frinds i though i shall write it out too.

Julia: i shall miss irratating you and listening to the stupid things you do and being sarcastic to you and i shall also miss the times we have been dirty minded.

Chun Ling: i shall miss hating you for doing so well in maths while i almost failed consistently. i shall miss your funny laugh.

Samantha: i shall miss your reassurances

Faiza: I shall miss nothing about you. *evil cackles*

Xinyi: you shall be wih me so nothing to miss

Basically thats all i am really gonna miss about you all. i am almost in tears already not because i will miss you but because i am crying at he agony of having endured the torture of staying for 2 whole years with you all (just kidding).

nothing much else to say and so i shall end here.

Yes! I've been talking about revamping the blog and all that for sooo long. And I am such an idiot because I haven't done ANYTHING yet except play maplestory and the sims 2.

So, of course, I'm starting to do it RIGHT NOW.

Oh ya. Here's a list of where our SLSians went.

1) Julia=3e2
2) Samantha=3e4
3) Chun Ling=3e6
4) Edha & Xinyi=3e7

So, we better go and visit each other on the first day of school! =D

About Chun Ling... She is so near but yet so far away... Just next door only. =D

Ju and Sam, you 2 are just 1 class away. =P Haha. Jiayou ok. Ju will miss your qian bian face.

And of course all of you except me are gonna miss edha's nagging. (does she nag? Not really actually.) Muahahahaha...

I hereby thank the school for putting edha and I in the same class, and also hereby curse the school for not putting chunling in 3e7.

>=(

Well, what is done cannot be undone. Especially if it was done by THE SCHOOL.

So, enjoy your holidays (now I'M nagging) and await the revamped version of SLS. =D

Humans don't appreciate what they have at first...

2005-11-14T15:18:00.000+08:00

They only find out that what they have means alot to them when they lose those stuff.

Stuff?

Stuff like freedom, food, clean air, friends and family, etc.

Besides food, I think that there's another thing that many women have taken for granted. Their modesty.

Ok, so why did I come up with this topic??? I saw this gigantic poster in front of the Singapore EXPO yesterday while I was in my dad's car. It portrayed a sexy woman wearing so scantily... posing like some prostitute waiting for the old ah pek to come... OKAY YOU GET THE IDEA. I was very much disgusted...

So, you may ask, what was I thinking at that point of time?

1) This model has a brain made of bird-shit.

2) This model is pretty, and at the same time has an IQ... as high as her shoe size. (yes that means that we're all geniuses *almost on par with albert, and we should thank her for allowing herself to be stupid, because she gave us a chance in life to be geniuses.)

3) The guy who thought of the idea of putting a poster like THAT in public is a perverted sex maniac who just escaped from the IMH.

4) Er, Media Authority of Singapore? How could you allow posters like this to be displayed openly in public? And furthermore, this is not the only poster in Singapore (displayed publicly) that will generate perverted thoughts in men. EH! HALLO!!! BLIND ONE AH?!

Oh I just remembered an article from a science magazine. Pornography does 'blind' people, temporarily.

Think about the women in other countries who are being treated unfairly. Those in countries which discriminate against women. Let's take a country like... a certain part of Africa. There, women, and even GIRLS younger than us are raped everyday. The rate of raping there??? About, say, 5 every hour?

And what happens to those poor girls? Well, they don't have a say in anything. So they just have to accept the fact that they were sexually exploited. The men there have the final word for everything. The women are just treated as lowly humans who don't deserve respect. As a result, many girls have contracted STDs like AIDS, herpes, etc.

Now, let's look at Singapore. Of course, Singapore is a much more civilised country. The government punishes those who commit crimes severely.The men living here are generally able to control their... erm... Let's refer to it as urges. Ya. So, even if they see a scantily-clad woman in the street, they most probably won't go up to them, pin them down and rape them, unlike in other countries.

As a result, more Singaporean women are wearing lesser and lesser clothes. In the past, women wore shorts. Now, they wear super short shorts, and super ultra micro mini skirts. (Which may result in more perverts, and families breaking up?) Necklines are plunging down into blindingly low depths. (Covers eyes and runs away)

In short, don't you think that many women are taking for granted the fact that Singaporean men are more civilised?

Now, have a look at some magazines like eight days, and look at some advertisments around your neighbourhood.

Dear MDA, WHAT THE HECK is happening?

What is being inculcated into the minds of our children???

Answer: sex!!! WHAT THE *toot*!!! Wei! I'm concerned about our future kids!!!

Shouldn't the government stop advertisers from using suggestive images and words in public ads? Such ads should be limited to places where only adults exist. Stop exposing our kids to mind-polluting stuff like that!

For example, ads for *ahem* women's underwear *ahem* should OBVIOUSLY BE BANNED FROM BUS STOPS BECAUSE I CANNOT STAND THE SIGHT OF THEM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Please, I'm appealing to all advertisers here.

Think Clean. Think Clear. Think... Conscientious.

I personally think that people who look at pornography happily, and people who model for disgusting pictures are all bird-shit-brained idiots who should not exist on earth. Remember, pornography makes people go stupid.

And by the way, you all must have read many articles in the Straits Times about this girl called Sarong Party Girl. Her blog became famous because she posted naked pictures of herself on her blog. I think that she is a total poop-brained idiot, because she is polluting more people's brains, and making the society more stupid, just because she's stupid. Honestly, I DESPISE HER!!!

She's Annabel Chong the second, just another prostitute-to-be. Another person who's ruining the clean image of Singapore. Why dirty the image of Singaporeans??? What were we taught in school?! To contribute to Singapore and make it better for our future generations, right?

So what the heck is this girl DOING??? And why the hell did Annabel Chong do something so low-down??? (Read the article in the straits times about annabel chong in sunday's paper. I was disgusted to read about it.)

I appeal to all readers of my post to oppose against pornography, the blog mentioned above AND the girl mentioned above, or any other blogs and people that are making people stupid.

I mean, COME ON!
The genius Albert Einstein is dead, and we badly need another Einstein. So why ruin the minds of our children? Every kid has an equal chance to succeed in life, and every kid has the potential to be the next Einstein. Why ruin their chances by polluting their minds? What's happening to the world?

It's for the sake of women's rights. Since we women in Singapore have a say, all the more, we shouldn't show off our bodies freely in public for all old perverts to see. We should respect ourselves and our fellow women, right?

Save mother earth, go green.
Save the brains of our future generations, go clean.

Yes, as clean as the pure water vapour in the skies of Singapore! Yay!

So, stop more people from turning into bird-shit-brained idiots!

SUPPORT MY GO CLEAN CAMPAIGN!

Remember, supply and demand. If nobody wants to see pornography, then no one will produce pronographic materials. And the world will be a much happier place.

THANK YOU!!!

*Bows*

Xinyi

P.S.
Wonder why I called those people bird-shit-brained idiots? Because bird poop is dirty. You get the idea. Dirty minded. WHAHAHHAHAA...

Another thing... I have this poster which says the following. I find it inspiring, and you should remember it!

"Bear in mind that the wonderful things you learn in school are the work of many generations. All this is put in your hands as your inheritance in order that you may receive it, honour it, add to it, and one day faithfully hand it on to your children."

And who said this???

None other than the great, wise ALBERT EINSTEIN!!!

Use this motto in your life. Make the world a better place for everyone to live in! =D Yeah!

Malnutrition In Children

2005-11-14T12:43:00.000+08:00

this post is in response to julia's request for topics to debate on.

we are sooo fussy about our food. sometimes it takes us alot of time to decide what ot have for our meals and when we finally do have them, we usually order more than we need and we are not able to finish it. where dos this unfinished food go? why down the drain of course! imagine what the condition of those children must be who have absolutely no food to eat. they are not given the choice of going ot pizza hut or mcdonalds. they cannot even think about wasting food. food is as precious to them as is your new billabong bag to you. why are these children suffering what are the causes of this malnutrition? let me tell you.

CAUSES

malnutrition can be caused by deficiencies of protien, energy and micronutrients (nutrients needed in small amounts). children become malnourished due to illness in combination with in inadequate intake of food. other causes are poor sanitation, poor quality drinking water adn inadequate child and maternal care.

In as many as 35 of the poorest countries, 30-50 per cent of the population may have no access to health services at all.

More than 1.1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water and some 2.9 billion people lack access to adequate sanitation. The result is the spread of infectious diseases, which in turn are major causes of malnutrition. Each year, diarrhoeal dehydration claims the lives of 2.2 million children under five in developing countries.

Several studies have found that malnourished children who were stimulated verbally and cognitively had higher growth rates than those who were not. That means that children should interact with parents. This will help the children grow emotionally as well. Inadequate care for children and women is an underlying cause of malnutrition only recently recognized in all its harmful ramifications.

The very high rates of child malnutrition and low birthweight throughout much of South Asia are linked to such factors as women's poor access to education and their low levels of participation in paid employment, compared with other regions.

RESULT

malnutrition contributes to over 6 million child deaths a year, 55 per cent of the nearly 12 million deaths among children under five in developing countries. Half of all children under five years of age in South Asia and one third of those in sub-Saharan Africa are malnourished.

Malnutrition leads to reduced productivity, hampering economic growth and the effectiveness of investments in health and education, and deepening poverty.

In countries where infant mortality rates are high or moderately high, a bottle-fed baby in a poor community is 14 times more likely to die from diarrhoeal diseases and 4 times more likely to die from pneumonia than a baby that is exclusively breastfed.

WHAT IS BEING DONE?

Over 12,700 hospitals in 114 countries are now baby-friendly, establishing a good start to breastfeeding for millions of babies.

Sixty per cent of all edible salt in the world is now iodized, helping reduce the toll of iodine deficiency disorders. Bolivia is the first and only country to certify that iodine deficiency has been virtually eliminated as a public health problem.

In 1997 alone, the lives of at least 300,000 young children were saved by vitamin A supplementation programmes in developing countries.

In Mbeya in Tanzania, a project improving health coverage and access to safe water, as well as growth monitoring and promotion, has produced a drop in moderate malnutrition of 11 percentage points. In contrast, malnutrition among children under five in areas not covered by the project actually increased by 7 percentage points.

In Brazil, the rate of malnutrition among children covered by a community-volunteer growth monitoring and promotion programme run by the Child Pastorate is half the national rate.
In a village in Niger, malnutrition rates have fallen by 10 percentage points as a result of a programme that helps women organize to reduce their workloads and enrich family diets with new foods.

Community volunteers in Oman's Al Dakhiliya region are helping reduce child malnutrition through improved care and health activities.

Nutrition promoters in Bangladesh are working in 1,000 community centres to help support breastfeeding and better caring practices for women and children.

Guatemala has brought vitamin A deficiency under control by fortifying sugar with the vitamin. Sugar is also being fortified with vitamin A in parts of Bolivia, Brazil, El Salvador, Honduras and the Philippines.

UNICEF supplied a total of 2.7 billion iron/folate tablets to 122 countries between 1993 and 1996 for distribution among pregnant women to help reduce iron deficiency anaemia and folate deficiency. Wheat flour is being fortified with iron in a number of countries in Latin America and the Middle East.

The nutrition of millions of children around the world has benefited from improvements in health services, particularly the achievement of immunization rates between 80 and 90 per cent in many countries

All this is being done but it is not enough. We are the young generation and it is our responsibility that we make sure that all these procedures remain active and ntroduce more schemes to help all the children out there. You can also help by finding out more info about organisations that are working towards this cause and helping them out.

Here are some websites you may want to check out if you are interested:
www.unicef.org/sowc98
http://www.myplanet.net/stanglaser/
http://www.nourishsomechildren.com/
http://www.food4africa.org.za/

there are many other sites you can find by surfing the net.

next time you waste food, remember the children dying out there.

My ambiton is to go to places where there are children dying due to malnutrition and poor sanitaion and help them out as a docter. I hope I inspired some of you to share my ambition.

VERY STRONG OPINION

2005-11-10T16:26:00.000+08:00

heyy there to everyone.

whoa. those are some really strong opinions. but i do have my own opinions as well.

about the popularity voting, i am in complete agreement *cue nodding* I mean, most of the votes come to the popular people. its all a matter of popularity. The kids who are not-so-popular never really get a chance. its a powerful force and i think alot of people have been left in its wake. people just go along with the popular ones. that leads to the popluarity voting.

as for the woman's lib issue, i think that we are as good as anyone. I mean guys may be more muscular but hello! reality check! if we didnt exsist, the world's population would just go down.

Sterotyping is lame too. I mean, library isnt lame! i dun think it is, i think its cool.

These issues so need to be fixed and ASAP. geez. the power of words?

hugs to everyone,

sam

Atrocities On Women

2005-11-10T11:11:00.000+08:00

i have yet another topic to start.

Let me ask you a question. Why is it that women are always discriminated and considered more lowly than men? Why is it that men are gven more privelages than women? I agree that nowadays there are alot of women rights activists but why did we ever see the need for these activists? Why did we end up in a situation that so many ladies were killed, tortured and used as prostitiutes? Some of us may think that women were inly discriminated in the past however it is still happening now in this world. Let me show you a few examples
Taliban Rule in Afghanistan -1996

women forbidden to go to work or school. Those who did try to go were beaten and brought home.
women had to be accompnied by a male relative to leave the confines of her home.
When a women is outside the home she is compelled to wear a head to toe covering called a "burqa," with only a small mesh opening over the eyes to facilitate a limited view of the outside world. It is important to note that the peripheral vision of Afghan women wearing burqas is so restrictive that many have been injured due to poor visibility.
women were beaten for shoing a bit of ankle or wearing noisy shoes.
women were not allowed to speak in public and any female from puberty till death could only talk to males who were her relatives
healthcare is virtually non existent for women.
In the city of Kabul alone there are 40,000 widows who can no longer work to support themselves and their families. Some widows are fortunate enough to have male children who can beg for the family. Others sit in dark houses praying for humanitarian aid which can only be delivered to them by a male intermediary. Many are eating grass, suffering from skin diseases due to the lack of sunlight and dying due to starvation and untreated illness.
The Taliban asserts that the prohibitions for women and girls are religious and protective in nature. Yet it is known that many Taliban break their own rules and send their daughters to school in other countries.

here is a link to one of the websites which shows the injustices committed on women. link

According to Vickii Onabolu, pornography is partially to blame for the injustices comiteed on women

"Some of the main anti-pornography arguments are that pornography leads to increased violence against women, it encourages the objectification of women and promotes the use, abuse and exploitation of women. They also believe that pornography affects the way women are seen in the world and that the reality we live in; which is one where the subordination of women is the norm, is created through the through the gender roles established by the pornographer. "

to get the complete article, visit this website now (do not worry this site does not contain any pornographic pictures.)

Lets take a look at women in central asia.

First I would like to remind Article 26 from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the first line of which says: "Everybody has the right to an Education".

ok look here everybody may have the right, but not everybody is able to EXPERIENCE that right. the chances of education in women is exceedingly limited due to restrictions from society, financial difficulties, etc.

According to the Survey about the Violation of women the majority of women indicate that they do not study because:
"I am not allowed to leave home"
"There is no school or University nearby"
"I do not have money for education"
"I do not have time for it"
"I do not find it interesting"

For the complete article click here.

I have not time to actually write about all the injustices committed on women but already these mentioned are enough. i hope that we can do something about this and if not remove then try to reduce the amount of injustices committed on women. Even our school TKGS has awarded G. P. Nikhila (2e4 2005), the speech award for talking about women rights and also set the book Sing To The Dawn by Mingfong Ho to raise awraness about the discrimination agianst women. it is time we spoke up against all these injustices. We being women are the ones who should take the most action as only a women can understand the atrocities committed on other women the best. i hope i have made you aware of things happening around the world. do not just turn your head and say that it does not affect you but actually reflect upon how lucky you are and think of ways to help people who are not as lucky as you. after all you only get a chance to do good once in life.

i hope i helped

Another topic really worth discussing...

2005-11-10T08:42:00.000+08:00

Okay. Basically I totally agree with Edha again. (Why can't I think of a new topic to start with) Oh ya. By the way, computer club DOES participate in prestigious competitions, but the boys always beat us. And I mean the CHinese High boys. They're way too good for us! =P

That, I have nothing to say. I wanna go Hwa Chong JC already. Be with all the science and tech nerds. Ah, the life...

Oops I'm daydreaming again. My mathematical skills are on par with that of a donkey. How can I ever go there.

Ok, let's talk about ART CLUB first!

Frankly, I don't see what's so boring about art club. Er, okay. Maybe art club is boring after all when mdm seah is nagging continuously. Or when miss della and mdm seah are arguing. (ooh maybe that's not so boring. That's INTERESTING.)

I was in Art Club myself in Primary school. In P4 I was in Netball though, which explains why my hands and legs are so tanned. =( And also explains why I have such a BAD tanline around my ankles. Then, for some reason which I can't remember, I joined art club. Maybe it was because I was pretty inspired by my art teacher then. She was really nice. The nicest art teachers I ever had was Miss Ginnie Quek and... Miss Loh. I can't really remember the name of Miss Loh, and I think I just gave you the wrong name but nevermind. (Or was it miss lau? or Low?)

I have very fond memories of being in Art Club at that time. It was really fun! We did tie-dyeing, we made a dress and a hat for the school doll, called Dolly. (duh, doll called dolly.) And I also remembered that my primary school did not have a computer-related CCA of any sort. But they did have a science club. And it was pretty boring because you have to research on the colour of corn cobs. B-o-r-i-n-g.

Well, there was already some CCA discrimination at that time. Those in the sports became horrifically popular when they won something. Art Clubbers were considered... Boring.

I mean HEY! TKGians shouldn't call people BORING because of their CCA! Everyone has interests of their own. So, we should respect people of all the CCAs. And Edha has made a very good point that people in Drama club are petrifyingly popular. It's like the whole school knows them. =P

Oh yeah. Bet you didn't know!!! Miss Chan, our science teacher, was in computer club when she was a TKGian. =D

Look at Jael! She's a really talented artist in Art Club, and of course, Mdm Seah loves her. (which art teacher wouldn't?) Would you call her boring? NO! I'd say that she is beautifying the school! And of course, I think that the Art Club members did a GREAT JOB with beautifying the school, and therefore they should get some recognition. So what if Art Club members are working in the background? Without them, I think Drama Club would not have existed today. it would be extinct. So, shouldn't the Drama Club members and most importantly, the whole SCHOOL (including teachers and the principal) respect them?

Yup that's all I have to say for Art Club. Now for Computer Club.

Er, actually we don't take part in so many competitions, to be honest. It's not that... glorifying to be in computer club, but it's definitely cool to be in computer club, and it was also a really good experience for me when I went for the national software competition. There were, of course, very enjoyable moments, (okay i mean darned FUNNY) which I will always remember. For example, mr hay kena cake on his face because the sec one was insulted pretty badly by him.

Frankly, I think that my cohort of computer club members are not really enthusiastic about computer club. There is this girl who usually skips computer club, and does other things on the computer when Mr Hay is teaching. I obviously want to smack her hard on her head with a ripe coconut, but oh well. I don't care.

Why do some computer club members (I'm talking about my batch only) treat computer club as some... Leisure time?! I'm disgusted. I'm freaked.

Why do some quit their sports CCA to join computer club? I'm sure you have heard of many such cases. Well, it's because they find the sports CCA too torturous. Computer Club very slack one, they say. But this is the kind of attitude that I absolutely CANNOT TOLERATE! I believe that you should go for every CCA session whole-heartedly, with enthusiasm, with an urge to learn something new.

I think it's the same for Art club too.

Anyway, I don't really know what computer club did for the school. =/
Hahaha... Of course I hope that computer club does do something for the school sometime. But it's more like Mr Hay who is really doing the job. He's designing the new school website!

Go to our school website. You see this link there for P6 girls? You'll be directed to this page. Then click on the one that says "being a TKGian is EXCITING". That's the page Mr Hay did. Eh cool RIGHT!!! I wish my flash skills were as good as his but of course, I'm dreaming again.

By the way, I'll be going overseas next saturday. The airplane is taking off at 7.30pm. Shall miss you all lots! =(

Ok. Cya!

Why The Steriotyping????

2005-11-09T15:22:00.000+08:00

ok i have another new topic to start.

A few days back at school, I made a new friend via the library board. When i told her that i was from art club, she said " oh, is it not boring?" . I really do not understand one thing, why are all the minority clubs steriotyped as boring? When we have our CCA day, where do you see the longest line? yes in all those groups which have auditions and are really respected by the students even though they do not do half the things we do. Art Club paints the boxes drama club uses, sews their curtains paints their props and what do we get in return? Not even recognition from the club let alone the school. Computer club designs the posters for the school, participates in prestigious competitions and are they ever given any recognition? NOOOOO! Recognotion is only given to the other popular groups. All those groups need to do is make one announcement about any programme they are having and tkgians come running to support them. However when the library board makes announcements for any competition they may be having nobody responds! Why? Beacause te library has been steriotyped as boring and no matter how much effort is made to ask ppl to come down to library even to watch free movies, no body comes. Is this how we are to be treated? The school just takes these clubs for granted. What if the librarians decide to go on strike. No one in the school will be able to borrow books, you will not be able to have peace and quiet to study the library will become living hell!!!! To look at it in another way, the school is partially to blame for this steriotyping. When students auditon for certain CCAs that the may want to ge in but are unable to, they are directed to the darned minority groups. At that point of time the students think that all those goups namely the comp & art clubs and basketball are for good for nothings and are your last options. In that way students join the clubs half heartedly and are not intrested in the activities which are actually interesting. Then the drama club members are so popular. Its like if you are in drama you are popular instantly but if you are in art club basketball or comp club you are a nerd. If you do not believe me just take a look at the school community? Look in your class who are the more popular ones are they not those in drama dance and all those sports? Why are we discriminated? Why are we not given as much support as the other groups are by the school community? We labour behind the scenes and we are not given any recognition have you ever heard any of the teachers cheering us on? Has any member of the school community actually commended any of the minority groups? How many people you know are in awe of the drama and dance? Yes we know that our school is stron gin the arts but does that mean they have to stop supporting the non arts? this is injustice to us? We should raise this matter in the school and ask questions to the school on this matter. Is it not in the pledge, "...to build a democratic society based on justice and equality..." ? So let me pose this questoin to the TKGS school community WHERE IS THE JUSTICE AND EQUALITY BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT CCA GROUPS??????

I hope my post has enlightened all those readers out there. Let us all stand together and fight against this discrimination and stereotyping. Thank You.

childhood games

2005-11-09T14:39:00.000+08:00

well, basically its like every other kid.playing, talking. i remembered my favourite game with my church friends was catching. we would chase each other like anything. Another favourite was "masak masak" that is you have this plastic ingredients/ cookeries which you cook for others to "eat. We made menus and laid chairs, it was like a restuarant. There were 5 of us, we took turns to be the chefs, waitress and customers. That time we were so creative, we had a small bell where, when the chef has cooked, she will ring the bell and the waitress will come. guess how we made sushi.. we used green rough paper and tore it inro thin strips den we crushed white rough paper.. and dere you go! our new dish. We played as a "family" also. I was always the "baby" cuz i was the youngest.ahha..its had itz advantage also... i didn't have to walk, cause the "mummy" will carry me from one place to another. (so cool rite) haha. but i had to crawl which was not too bad. =)

oh i was a "westlife fan" in my childhood! The most common mtv i watched was britney spear's "oopz I did it again" yup. I can memorise the song by heart.

hey galz, take care kz. cya at class chalet. ( if ur can make it). tata.

Re: Popularity Voting... I think it stinks worse than a rotten skunk.

2005-11-09T14:06:00.000+08:00

This post is my personal opinion towards popularity voting, a topic started by Edha the Brave. (yay!) And this is going to be a terribly looong post. Because I'm long winded.

(IMPORTANT NOTE: If I'm criticizing popular people, the criticisms are all directed at POPULAR but INCAPABLE people. POPULAR but CAPABLE people deserve RESPECT.)

After reading her extremely inspiring and enlightening post, I've decided to support her point. Her words have definitely grabbed hold of my attention. Popularity voting has become a very serious 'plague' that has infected many people around our age. Is it possible to cure it? Or at the very least, prevent it from happening?

I totally agree with the fact that Edha has been the victim of popularity voting, not once, but many times. Same goes with me. I would not consider myself or Edha popular people in the school. (obviously.) For me, I think it's because of my character. I'm not a VERY nicey nicey nice nice person that can socialise with others very easily. (Mr Hay can.) And maybe all of you don't know this, but I don't like to talk to people in a big group, unless I know all of the people in the group very well. I prefer one to one talk, almost all the time. =P

Yes, I AM abit anti-social most of the time. =P It beats me why I'm like this too! But I'm fine with it. I'm fine with having a small group of trustworthy good friends. I don't need a big group of fair-weather friends. In my opinion, a small group of close friends is definitely better than a big group of fair-weather friends. What do you think?

Okay, sorry for digressing so much. =D Hehe thanks for bearing with me. I shall get on to the main point now.

First of all, ask yourself this question first. Is it worth it to vote someone for a job, (whether important or not) based on their POPULARITY?

To be fair, I'd say that...Well, sometimes, it depends.

Imagine you're the boss of the XYZ company. You have to send someone to clinch a deal worth 100 million in New York next month. And your choices are down to 2 candidates.

Candidate A: A very hardworking Director of the company. He treats everyone he meets well, and is actually a very capable man. He is also a great director. He was voted as "Best Director of the year" last year by the whole company. He has important connections to the famous and the rich all around the world. The only downside about him is that he is not as good with words as Candidate B. On the positive side again, he is pretty good looking and popular.

Candidate B: Also a very hardworking woman. She is your personal assistant. She is efficient in everything she does, but she is not exactly good at socialising, and does not have many connections to the rich and famous. But on the positive side, she is very good with words. She just has the gift of the gab. Almost everyone is willing to believe what she says. She just seems to have this... magical way of making people agree with her opinions, even though she looks like an average person.

You must be thinking, "I'm lost for words. They're almost equally good. Should I just send them both to clinch the deal???"

I'm not going to say which candidate I would pick, because I'm not sure myself. Whahahahahaa!!! Definitely a pretty tough choice, huh?

So, as you can see, sometimes, popularity may not be an advantage.

But of course, that's for the real world. Life's alot simpler in school. The real world is like a huge sphere of seawater filled with dolphins and killer whales. It's not that simple. School's pretty much like a kindergarten. We may be more matured than those kids, but deep in our brains, most of us would not have any ulterior motives.

In school nowadays, it's all about popularity. Class chairman voting session? We've got to look at how popular you are in class, then. What? You have better leadership abilities than that popular girl? Oh, sorry. I don't think the class would want to listen to you anyway.

Isn't that how it works in school most of the time? Give yourself a minute to think about it.

Practically speaking, I think that popularity voting is here to stay. I doubt we can change the system. But here's some words of wisdom for all those people who REALLY deserve to be voted, but did not.

Think about those who vote based on popularity. Just think about how good their reasoning and analytical skills are. If there's a class chairman voting session going on, and a popular but incapable girl gets voted, the whole class is going to suffer.

Is it worth it? Obviously no. But of course, those voters wouldn't have the courage to admit that they're in the wrong. So, you can always tell yourself that you should feel proud of yourself, because you did not vote for the popular girl, and you were not one of those who contributed to the misery of the class.

Remember, school's just part of life. Popularity is something superficial. What counts is your real ABILITY and your CHARACTER.
The real world does not work the same way. Sure, popular but incapable people may get more chances in life at first, but for unpopular but capable people... All you need is ONE CHANCE to prove your worth. After that, chances will come pouring in like rain.

Hope my post did not bore you. =P And of course I hope it didn't insult anyone who should not be insulted by this post.

Well, I have to say this again although I sound like an old, nagging grandmother.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Popularity Voting

2005-11-09T12:07:00.000+08:00

Today as I was shouting at my brother to vacate the computer seat, I realized how many times I have been the victim of the bad effects of popularity voting. One of the bad effects are when you are one of the candidates taking part in the polls and your fellow candidate is about the most popular person in the class or even in the school. When caught in that situation, voters do not bother to take notice of who is a more worthier candidate. All they look at, is who is more popular. So why do they vote for someone more popular? Well, for one, they are trying to earn a chance for themselves to become popular. By voting for them, they are earning themselves a chance to be noticed by that person who may give them a chance to be their friend. To put it in other words, they vote to beg to be part of that persons' circle of friends. Another reason they run after the popular ones is because voters are told by that persons' friends that the more popular ones are more deserving for the position(these friends can be pretty influential) . So that poor voter, instead of finding out the real truth, gets talked into voting for the more popular one. Then you might ask, why does not the less popular one do the same thing and spread the message about him/her being the more better candidate. Well, there are 2 reasons.

Reason 1: The candidate knows that he/she is fighting a more popular person and so if he/she speaks up against them then they will sabotage them or spread false rumors about them.

Reason 2: That candidate may not have enough friends to spread the message or the friends that he/she has are not popular enough for anyone to listen to.

So eventually the person who is more popular naturally gets more votes. Now my friends, tell me, do you think that this is justice? Shouldn't both the candidates be given equal rights to express their views on what ideas they have to improve the situation of the class, school or the community? Do you not think that this situation that is found in our school community should be acted upon? Well at least I do think so and one of the ways I can think of is that we be allowed to campaign for our votes. If, when voting, all parties participating are allowed to campaign their ideas to the public, it will provide the voters with a better scope of view of who to vote for. And maybe if it is successful, and people co-operate, we shall be able to abolish popularity votings form our school community copmpletly. So I hope you support me in my effort to raise awareness on this topic of popularity voting and i urge yo udo do your part and DO NOT vote on a person's popularity. Thank-You.

DISCLAIMER: THIS POST IS COMPLETLY BASED ON ,MY OPINION AND EXPERIENCES. IT IS NOT AIMED AT INSULTING ANYBODY.

it feels good to let all that out. sorry for making it that long but once i start, i cannot stop.

hope you liked my argument

Hi everyone! I'm so terribly happy that everyone's posting terribly fast here in SLS! (well, almost everyone.) That's the way man!!!

Oh ya. Edha ah... I didn't know you throw water over your brother?!

O_o

And Mdm Khoo is a little weird huh... Why didn't she say bye to such a polite student?!

About the classes named after flowers thingy... Is there going to be a class named Poison Ivy? I think everyone would avoid that class at all costs. =P

And to show my... erm... admiration for Edha's bravery, I shall present her with A Proof of a Hero. Or Heroine.
I did this whole thing using photoshop, and the picture was taken on edha's birthday! =D
To avoid inconvenience for edha, please click on the link below to see it.

Proof of a Hero!

Yay! Congratulations, Edha!!!

ok hello. i went to school this morning to hand in the OBS cheque and when i approached the general office, there was no one at the desk. all the staff were inside this cabin. i just stood there i really did not know what to do as they seemed to be having a meeting. then finally i mustered up courage to disturb their meeting and pressed that bellthat the have. then of all ppl Mrs Khoo came up and said:

Mrs Khoo: yes girl, what do you want

Me: errm, i have to pass this cheque to mrs tan ching yi

Mrs khoo: ok you write your name on this paper ( produces this used paper which has been written on many times. shows how stingy our school is)

Me: (write name) do i have to write my class too?

mrs khoo: (looking surprised) of course you do!

Me: oh ok( write class)

Me: (passes the cheque) thank you

Mrs khoo: hmm

Me: bye bye ( expecting an answer)

Mrs khoo: hmmm ( stares at cheque)

me: (thinking ) its original lah! not forged. you do not have to stare at it as if you have never seen a cheque before.

and then i walked away. honestly the way she was starin gat the cheque, i have a feeling that she will run away with it!

and i also have this piece of rumor passed on to me by our loved senior diyanah. accorfing to her, all the classes nest year shall be named after flowers. there shall be no more 2e1 but instead there shall be 2 bouganvillea or 2 crysenthemem. and so on. julia says she hates it.

ok let me tell you that i do not support MFC because my brother is not cute. he is annoying.
xinyi thank you for reading my article . i know i must have bored you to death.

I am dying to know the results and like xinyi i woke up at 7 am did not brush my teeth did not comb my hair did not throw water on my brother BUT went to the darned comp to check my results and found out that no results were there. sigh. the poor service the school provides to the students.

ending off here.

-eddy edha-

Ren! (endure)

2005-11-08T09:06:00.000+08:00

Yo!
Hey I'm really happy to see edha and julia post! =D
So you see, you can post absolutely ANYTHING here!
If no one is reading your article, you can be assured that at the very least, I will read it. =P
Because I'm bored.

I'm waiting anxiously for the streaming results. I woke up at 7am today, feeling terrible. Because:

1) My mum turned on the main light as usual to put on her makeup and I can't sleep with the lights on.

2) For obvious reasons. I SCARED I NEVER GET INTO MY FIRST CHOICE AH!!!

Yep. So I slept for awhile more after she turned the danged light off. It's kinda amazing. I actually love bright places, and yet ironically I hate bright places when I'm sleeping.
Then, I finally woke up. And went to my computer even before I brushed my teeth, tied my hair up, etc.

And what the toot.

the results were not up yet.

I was... shocked?

Now weijia just told me that today is the sec3 class allocation EXERCISE, 15th november is the RESULTS day.

GAH!!!

This is stupid man... Can sleep more end up never sleep. Haiz.

What to do now leh. The math homework is only coming on Thursday. This is boring. Am I going to spend the rest of my holiday life... playing... maplestory... and... the sims? HAIZ!!!~

I believe you can already feel the concentrated amount of boredom in me waiting to explode. Heeelp!!!

School's over, so I can't write much about Yappy or Yongi. Sad. No more recounts.

Yesterday the stupid Chan Brothers travel agency made my mum and I happy for nothing. They told us that the trip could take off, then another guy called to say that it couldn't take off. Then came the news about riots in France. How? Where has Justice gone to?

I mean. EH! Siao one ah! Haven't confirm yet, tell us confirmed for WHAT?! HAR?! Make my mum cancel her appointment with the doctor to JANUARY. TMD!

Anyway... My maplestory character is only at level 21 and I'm planning to be a Fire/Poison Wizard. Though it's a highly unpopular choice... But I thought poisoning was a pretty neat attack. You poison the idiotic monster and go hide. Then, the poison will slooowly take away it's HP... muahahahahaha!!!

And of course you get exp. points. ;)

Alright. I'll stop writing here! Enjoy your holidays! =D (again)

Bungy Jumping And Roller Coasters

2005-11-07T11:47:00.000+08:00

HELLOOOO!!!!!!!!
Hi guys. ok i went reverse bungy jumping at our very own loved (by 21 and above) and hated(by me) clarke quay!!! I am sure you all must have noticed that cruel cage suspended by flimsy and thin wires which catapult you into air the moment you think you are going to have the time of your life but instead ruin the whole thing beacause you scream your lungs out! *panting and trying to catch breath*. Well, SOMEBODY, namely my daddy dear, DARED me to go onto that thing and tell him how the experience was. Now, all those who know me know that i can try anything that will prove me to be the ultimate critic. So naturally I tried. Here is my experience in chronological order.

1. they asked me to remove me shoes, and everything in my pocket. (calm and concentrated)

2. i sat down in this jungle of what appeared to be safety straps. (confused and still calm)

3. the cage is tilted. ( starting to freak)

4. the final 15 sec countdown ( OMG i need to get out!!!!)

5. 3, 2, 1, BLAST OFF!!! ( aaaarrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhh my butt is in the air!!!)

6. the cage spins (MOMMY!!! start praying)

7. slowly we are relaxed back to earth ( oh that was not too bad was it? i remained relatively calm)

8. i get off along with my dad and uncle, wear my shoes, tell everyone what an exciting experience it was while inside i am swearing i shall never go on that thing again.

AND

i went to genting theme park.
they have this new standing roller coaster in which instead of sitting, you have to stand. it is supposed to give you an experience of flying in air.
here is my experience in chronological oreder.

1. standing in this line which is probably gonna take hours ( harumph i am bored)

2. ok the next car is ours and i have to hurry and get on cause the cars do not stop. (yay! our turn is here!!)

3. we board the car and are trapped inside this cage with NO SAFETY STRAPS!!! ( what ! no safety straps?? hello what if i fall out??)

4. we are slowly climbing up ( omg! omg! its coming oh no why did i get myself into this?)

5. we have the fall. up down and all around. we even go upside down a few times. ( AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!! i am gonna fall ooooooooofffffffffffff!!!! lord save my soul!!!!!!)

6. back to ground. ( i did it! i did not fall off! i would like to thank my dad my mom, my brother who cried cause he was too short for the ride, my friends and all those who i know!!)

7. questions from family. ( was i scared? of course not! scared and me?? i am the best! )

well thank you for enduring this painfully long post. i hope you enjoyed it. i shall be glad to see yappy and yongi try it some day. oh i can almost imagine their faces contorted in agony both of them releasing high pitched screms from their overly large traps found in the middle of their scared faces.

toodles

Our fate...

2005-11-07T11:02:00.000+08:00

Hey humans!

I just got this piece of info from peiyi today. We're supposed to collect our streaming results from the e-portal tomorrow!

Can you believe it. Our fate. Decided by.

A COMPUTER MONITOR.

MAN!

And after that we have to go to the... cursed... heymath website to get our math homework. (on the tenth)

OH!

GODS!

IS THERE ANYMORE JUSTICE LEFT IN THIS WORLD!

Why can't they just let us either rejoice or weep over our fate for the rest of the week? Huh?

Of course. We rather rejoice at our results.

But as usual.

Yappy the wet blanket.

Yappy who perpetually wets his blanket every night.

Is out to spoil the day!

So.

We must form a coalition.

To fight against the evil forces of Yappy.

Yes.

We shall finish all the work he gives us.

Even the dunged (danged) piece of homework coming on december the 18th.

(ya sorry people. I couldn't get him to reply my sms. Dang it! Maybe he doesn't even have a measly 10 cents to spare for a sms. Hopeless. We students are not working!)

And throw them in his skinny triangular face.

"MARK THEM." We bellow.

"Have mercy, my honoured lords! I am innocent!" He squeals pathetically in a high-pitched tone resembling soprano.

"NO! YOU SHALL BE SENTENCED TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT IN A GIANT HAMSTER CAGE IN TKGS SO THAT EVERYONE CAN LET YOU EAT THE SNAILS IN THE SCHOOL!"

"That's all you shall have, a slimy, juicy snail a day. Doesn't that sound mouth watering already?"

We shall then watch in triumph at Yappy running in a hamster wheel to generate electricity for TKGS the whole day so that we can all have air-con in the whole school.

How nice.

Mr Yong should be proud of us huh.

See, we apply what he taught us to very practical situations indeed.

We are going to have a school of happier tkgians!

And of course a sadder Yappy.

Well.

Hope you enjoyed this post! =D

Enjoy your holidays!

FOR CHUN LING

2005-11-02T21:36:00.000+08:00

A very good evening to you all, and welcome to The Amazing Race Recap! I'm your host Samantha.
*theme song of the Amazing Race plays in the background*

Unfortunately I did not manage to catch the first 15 minutes of the show for which I apologise.

Anyway, the first was a ROADBLOCK. The task was to search for 1 single RED coffee bean in a pile of 500000 coffee beans. The Weavers were yielded by The Paolos and they were really upset because everyone except the Gaghans were ganging up against them. they felt that 'no one wants us (them) here'. Poor things. The Gaghans lost their lead eventually and were the last to leave the coffee plantation but fortunately not far behind the Weavers.

The next task was to drive to this surf shop where they were assigned a DETOUR. The choice was between two tasks, RELIC or RIPE. In relic, teams had to cross several precarious brideges to get 4 ancient relics and give them to the archeologist. In ripe, teams had to hoist 15 bushels of bananas onto a carrier system and the man would then give them the clue. Out of all the teams only the Paolos did the ripe tak and in spite of all their constant bickering they managed to complete it in record time using teamwork. The Relic was a little more difficult because halfway through the task it began to rain quite hard and the bridge was extremely high up. it was very slippery too.

The weavers managed to pull themselves out of the last place but they got stuck in mud on their way to the pit stop. The mother had an emotional breakdown and who could blame her? Even a nearby man would not help but just stood there staring at her. Finally in a fit of tears she drove the car out of the mud.

The Paolos were the first to arrive and they had won a choice of 1 from 4 outdoor vehicles which included jet skis and a multi-terrain jeep each. The Linz family was sceond, following behind were the Bransens. The Godlewski Family were 4th. FINALLY. The moment you've all been waiting for.....

The Weaver family were the 5th team to arrive and the Gaghans were eliminated. But being the good sports they were they took it bravely except for a few tears shed by the kids Billy and Carissa.

Well, next week is a 2 hour special so don't miss it! This is Samantha signing off, good night.

I'm not telling you the title of this... yet.

2005-11-01T17:26:00.000+08:00

Frankly, ever since the holidays started, I've lost my inspiration. I don't know what to write.

But suddenly, this bolt of lightning struck me and created more grey matter in my brain.

And that's how this post came about.

It's supposed to make you laugh...

And appreciate what you have, most importantly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

To cut the long story short, today, I'm gonna discuss about the absolute IMPORTANCE of the human MOUTH!!!

(PS this is going to be a very very veryyy loooonnggggg post so... pls bear with me. And all pictures were made by me, so pls do not copy and say it's your own. If not I come personally and box you in between your eyes. muahahahahaha...)

---------------------------------------------------------

It makes...

Or breaks...

Your day.

It allows you to eat without dropping your food everywhere.

You see what I mean?

It shows others how you feel.

This guy got full marks for his paper, and yet he looks... neutral.

Yeah you get what I mean again huh.

=P

It allows us to articulate our words. Or rather, talk!

I think they both look extremely constipated. Get a toilet bowl, somebody.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Okay. It's not THAT long after all. But I hope this post made you smile!

=D

Xinyi

My First Post.

2005-10-31T11:45:00.000+08:00

First of all thank you Xinyi for giving me the password of this blog. I can now be a part of this noble society and contribute to the humiliation of Mr Yap ( a teacher whose breath smells of sardine) and the appraisal of the great Albert Einstein. I shall also make the ppl of this world more aware about Harry Potter and the poor children who are dying out there due to the lack of food, water and medication. I would appreciate it if you all would assisted me in these noble and respected doings in any way possible. Thank You.

Ok now away from the cheamness. Hey I am really sad that we have to leave the class this year. Why can't they just let us carry on with the same class? That would be so much better. But then again we have to move on and make new friends and accept change as part of our lives because change makes the world go round. So lets end the year on a cheerful note . Instead of thinking about the fact that we will be leaving our precious class, we should think about the new friends we shall be making not to mention the removal of Madam Seah's boring lessons.

Now I shall end my post and thank you all for reading it.

-eddy edha-

What a bad arrangement...

2005-10-28T20:52:00.000+08:00

Haiya... Why must they send the maths homework so late??? I mean I don't actually mind doing them, because they can certainly help me revise, but the period of time in between is completely... MAD!

Will we take five weeks to finish thirty questions??!!

Bah.

Oh yar! Edha's birthday party tomorrow at her house! Can't wait man!

Sorry but this is going to bo a very very very short post, opposite of how much i usually write... or type... HEE hee HEE!!!

Good morning/afternoon/night!

and that we've gotten all our results back.
=D Cool eh?

I haven't blogged in... a looong timeeeeee... I hereby congratulate myself for blogging today! *applause* (so bu yao lian!!! =( )

Now we are anticipating nervously for:
1) Our final results
2) Our streaming results

Haiz. HOW WILL WE FARE??!! I really hope that we can all get into the class we want to. Or else you know who to look for. Muahahahahaha...~

Today was abit maluating because I went home with Chun Ling on the MRT. We were talking and talking then we alighted. I thought the place looked different.

"Eh, why are we at Simei?!"
"Oops. Alighted too early."
"Eastpoint looks like Tampines Mall leh. Aiya stupid lar..."

And so, we waited another SEVEN minutes for the next MRT boohoohoooo

WHA LAOOOOOO
Super malu can?
-_-

Oh yar... sad to say that the tagboard we are using now is going to be gone in 2 weeks' time because the owner has no money to continue running this tagboard service. ='(
Boohoo...wail...waaaah...

Oh. And Mr Yong will be teaching the sec 3s next year maths and physics! Which means us, 2/1, 2/2, and 2/8.
Well... At least it's not the CREEEEEPY thin boogieman right???

Aren't you feeling horribly THANKFUL that we probably won't be seeing the boogieman next year?! =P

I personally don't wanna see him. His face reminds me that I should go put sugar in his locker. *evil cackle*

>_<

Cannot stand the boogieman's PMSing attitude.

Are you all going to watch Villa Wellness today??? I am!!! Hahaha! I hope Lee Huey wins. =)

Tomorrow got the financial talk... I sure hope they give us some money each to experiment with... Hahaha. Learning has to be hands-on sometimes. ;)

So cool right. Each person... say... 30 bucks. Give you 1 day to spend it, see who can buy the most stuff.

WHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAA
just kidding lah muahahahahahahhahahahahahaa they where got so rich?!

Have you all started planning what you wanna do during the holidays? We can't possibly be infected by HSSN (Holiday SianSatioN) the whole time! Wasted life. I'm gonna finish reading the Genome book, the book about einstein's relativity and Sync. Hehe. And I'm also going to play maple story, knit, watch TV, basically slack. And watch Brainiac on arts central!!!

How about you all? Remember to post kz?

=)

I'm changing the song on our blog because obviously everyone MUST be sick of it. =P

Cya all in school tomorrow!

EXAMS!

2005-10-17T17:23:00.000+08:00

hey everyone i know we're all so sick and tired of hearing about exams but i just had to blog about it.

we got back our english paper today.... i was so nervous. Julia, Xinyi and chun ling were reassuring me but i didnt believe them. Not until I saw my paper that is. hahaha. I really worry for nothing but I'm not going to admit that out loud to julia. If not she'll probably go see! see! and smack my face or something. *grinz*

short one people. i really dun want wednesday to come. I'd probably just abdicate.

-"princess samantha"-
(refer to chun ling's post. I hope its not in a bad way.)

I'm Back!

2005-10-16T12:51:00.000+08:00

Hello, how are all of you! Friday certainly was a fun and exciting day. We went out to watch a movie. Finally, we managed to convince little princess Samantha to watch the movie with us. However, the customer service on that day was really bad. First, the staff serving us in Golden Village at the ticket booth was so rude when he answered my enquiry about my our choice of seats. He just retorted, " Eh.... no more centre seats left, centre only got seats 6 rows from the screen. Only the side got back seats!" While waiting for the commencement of the movie, we re-explored our childhood days by visiting Toys R Us. There were many toys there which left me fond memories of my childhood days. A while later, we went back to the cinema to get some popocorn before proceeding to Theatre No 7. Another example of some bad customer service. When a lady in front asked a question, which I did not really heard what it was, the staff blew up after she left, saying, " Siao ah customer everyting also want free!" She served us with a grumpy face and threw the packet of Smarties onto the box of popcorn. We hurried into our theatre and watched Corpse Bride. It was not scarry but funny. The characters were very skinny. After the movie, we went to Burger King for lunch. Right after lunch, we sent Samantha off before following Xinyi to buy her Corrinne May CD. Later, we bought a bowl of Chin Chow for Edha, who could not join us for that day due to unforeseen circumstances. We visited Edha who welcomed us friendly. Wow, Edha is a really good poet! We also watched a few Bollywood movies of hers, before bading goodbye to each other. It certainly was a great day to spend with friends!

The Song and The Intrigue of Black Holes

2005-09-29T16:09:00.000+08:00

I give up on that topic. Yup. I'm going to talk about something more... erm... related to us as a whole. Something everyone would understand.

We sang samantha that song today lah... very lame sia. At first chunling was writing the lyrics then she tell sam that "it's just computer club stuff."
After geog class, we RANNNNNN down to class and hid away in some secluded corner outside the class to practice.

Then chunling came... with sam! Ya. I laughed lor. The whole thing was a pretty silly idea, but nonetheless will make ppl very gan dong de! =)

"Think of commando's pineapple head"

I cannot make myself sing. It's too funny for me to bear.

Today when I reached home, I went into the study room. I amazingly discovered a pretty big house lizard on the wall near the table!!! Freaky huh. So I retreated into the toilet to change.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the bus I was reading that same old book again. Yes I know I'm a boring person. This chapter was about how black holes can stop time... or rather about time itself!
Imagine you are a little photon. (light particle)
If you went to the edge of a black hole, you may be kinda stuck there. (that is, if you're lucky enough to be exactly on the EDGE.)

(edge--> I mean in the event horizon(the place where stuff are in danger of getting sucked into the black hole), near the black hole but not exactly IN the black hole.)

You will not lose or gain any energy. So you will not get out of the hole, nor will you get into it. You will be just stuck there. Applying this to clocks, means that time will stop.

I'm thinking of setting up this 'cheat-money' beauty centre.

ADVERTISMENT BREAK:

The ULTIMATE dream of many women...
To stay young forever!
But how do you do that?
Pills and cosmetics just don't work forever.
Well, now you can, with AstroBeauty's
COSMOCOSMETICS Treatment!
Come to the AstroBeauty Centre now,
Prices start from a MERE $100,000!

Oh my gawd... I can imagine all the tai tais coming now. In fact I just heard the phone ring!

If I could send an extremely vain woman to the edge of a black hole, and leave her stuck there, won't I be granting her lifetime dream of staying young forever?
But oh wait now.
How to get her out later leh?
Hahahahaha.....
At least she paid me 100k for this 'treatment'.

DISCLAIMER
'You may come back to earth safely after this programme. not.'

Hahaha! So bad right. So the moral of the story is "Don't risk your life for vanity."

Yep. Study hard! =D

Xinyi

Believe in yourself!

2005-09-28T15:12:00.000+08:00

This is a post for Samantha!
Yes, especially for you.

You don't have to get an 'excellent' from the -toot- person!
The opinions of others may not be true.
In this case, this person is talking crap lah.
Why should you be "excellent"?
So what if others can get the "excellent" remark from -toot-?
To me, it doesn't mean anything.

Being my scientific self, here's an equation!

eft=c2

excellent from -toot- = crap square!

You're already a good person!
You don't need lame remarks from -toot-!
Yeah that -toot- go and say that kind of thing to me.
He insulted Albert indirectly!
He's gonna get it from Albert one day!!!!!
I hate him. Stupid lah go and insult my idol Albert.

So you see?
This -toot-'s comments and opinions are all crap.
He doesn't even show ANY respect for the GREATEST physicist of all time!
Just proves the -toot-'s IQ, EQ, and immaturity.
Hmph.

Although I feel very ashamed of myself for writing down the wrong facts during the geog CA today, (coniferous forest trees can grow up to 40m...lol) I'm glad, yes very GLAD that I don't have to listen to Mdm Seah talk about contour lines anymore.

I see contour lines everyday okay... my room the drawers etc. all got that wavy line design thingy. Em... Don't mean to insult mdm seah. Just that I hear until sian le. Mdm Seah actually taught us pretty well lah.

Somehow I feel kind of depressed today because of the weather. Hot weather makes me like that. :( And furthermore, my back is feeling depressed too, because my bag was REALLY heavy today. The road back home was like walking on Venus without a spacesuit on.

But alas, all my books are back home! =)

Oh... the personality test Julia showed me right... its pretty interesting. I chose A. It said that I am the type who is not affected by words, but more by actions. Even a little present or card can make me very... em... touched,or gan dong bu yi, as stated by the text.

Thinking over it in the bus, it's true. A guy can tell me stuff like "Oh my beloved thee, I will love you with all of my heart, all my life. Will you marry me?" and I will STILL be unaffected. Sorry. (were you disgusted???)
I don't want to marry someone as immatured as you, thank you. Whatever lahz... Maybe at first, I'll be very disgusted, but I'll manage to pick my wits back from being too disgusted.

It's like... okay another example. Someone says, "Oh, I will do the work later, don't worry." but DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. (I admit to doing that sometimes myself) Come on, I wanna see some action from you! Rather than telling me you'd do it, I'd rather actually SEE you do it.

My life sounds like an action/comedy movie already.

I was reading the "Einstein's Universe" book while I was in the bus and in the MRT. Yup. Although I was alone all by myself reading about black holes and cosmos and physics in the MRT while the rest of you were chatting away with the sec 3s, I actually felt... the weight of my bag going away. I like the feeling of being totally in the world of cosmophysics. Which is a good sign, as it means that I was VERY engrossed. (thanks for the 10%, albert!)

It's a pity that we don't get to see stuff like that in Singapore. If we could, I would have asked my parents to buy me a telescope! So cool huh. Then I can stare at the sky with it every night. I am anticipating that day. Just someday. *looks into the distance*

I understand how galaxies form now. Which is soo sooo cool, because I bet Mr Yap doesn't know, MUAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm so mean, hee! And Mr Yap actually THINKS that we don't know what Shearing is huh. So bad. I use photoshop I know leh. Dun belittle 2/1 hor. =D

I am again absolutely disgusted by the fact that there are people who...

-think the earth is actually SQUARE!!! People who know how gravity works should know that it would be impossible for the earth to be square.

-think that the earth is flat. -_- Earth's atmosphere has a curvature, in case they haven't seen it.

-try to actually prove that einstein's theory of special relativity is wrong. Why do they want to ruin such a beautiful theory in the world of physics?

-think that if you believe that the earth is round, you will not go to heaven. -_-
